Split DH

MLB offered the players a universal DH in return for expanded playoffs, but the players want the issues settled separately. I had not thought of this before, but the players have a good reason to eschew more teams in the playoffs:

I’m not sure I agree. It’s nice to make the playoffs, but teams want to win the championship as well. While small sample sizes mean that wild card teams can win the World Series, the more levels added diminishes that chance. One still wants a very good team going into the post-season.
