Dodgers: Five teams for Yasiel Puig as MLB considers universal DH

What about the Dodgers?

As fun as it would be to see Yasiel Puig back with the Dodgers, it doesn’t really make sense for them to search for a reunion, even with expanded rosters and a possible DH role.

There aren’t many teams in the National League in better position to take advantage of the DH spot than the Dodgers. They have a deep bench and a solid rotation of outfielders who can cycle between the field and designated hitter position.

Whether the Dodgers decide to move Max Muncy into a semi-permanent DH role, or reserve the spot for AJ Pollock when Joc Pederson is in the lineup against righties, or mix in utility players like Kiké Hernandez, they have plenty of options for manager Dave Roberts to fill out his lineup card.

Signing Puig would be like adding a third cherry to a sundae already overflowing with chocolate sauce and sprinkles. The Dodgers don’t need him, but it’s fun to think about for a few minutes.
