Continue readingA little less ‘magic’ – What MLB will lose forever as pitchers stop hitting
The universal DH, for all of its uniformity, practicality and Shohei Ohtani, saddens a small few of us, for it eliminates one of the game’s underappreciated elements: pitchers hitting, or not hitting, which, for 150 years, has provided great statistics, stories and smiles.

CARLSBAD, Calif. — The Los Angeles Dodgers’ decision not to tender a qualifying offer to Clayton Kershaw is not an indication that the team is predisposed to letting him leave.
