Ken Rosenthal’s latest report in The Athletic details recent negotiations between MLB and the MLBPA and shares proposals from both sides to improve the state of baseball. The biggest rule change the league has proposed is requiring a pitcher to face a minimum of three batters. So, that basically means if the rule is adopted then you can say goodbye to the left-handed specialist coming out of the bullpen to just face one tough left-handed batter.

The players association responded with its own set of proposals and having the DH in the National League is part of it.
Via The Athletic:

As part of a Jan. 14 proposal to the players’ union on pace of play, baseball suggested a rule requiring pitchers to face a minimum of three batters, sources told The Athletic.
The Major League Baseball Players Association responded last Friday with its own comprehensive proposal that addressed the players’ concerns on competitive integrity and service-time manipulation in multifaceted fashion, sources said. A lowering of a team’s draft position for failing to reach a specified win total in a certain number of seasons is believed to be part of the union’s plan.
A universal designated hitter — something the players have sought for more than three decades, according to commissioner Rob Manfred — also was part of the union’s proposal. Under the plan, the National League would adopt the DH for the 2019 season.

So they are willing to get rid of one type of player to open a spot for another (DH)?

I like the rules the way they are. A three batter minimum is silly.

How only one pitching change per inning unless its for an injury?

The 3 batter rule blows, hope that is never allowed to pass. Whoever thought it up needs to be publicly caned.

You wanna speed up the game, no more stepping out of the batters box every pitch, use a pitch clock, get automatic strike zones.

The answer to speeding up the game and getting rid of all the walks/strikeouts is to call the strikezone by the book, i.e. call the letter high strike. This would force the batters to swing the bat rather than just going up to take pitches.

Or have batters start actually trying to get hits instead of looking for walks.

Do you want them to do what is most likely to produce a win or what is more likely to entertain?

Not making outs is how you win. I know it's boring and goes against what we grew up watching, but its true.

I’d love to see the high strike. Unfortunately it will increase the already high strikeout total. Hopefully it would lead to hitters actually trying to put the ball in play earlier in the count.

Then teams should get a run whenever a batter's wife flashes her tits behind home plate.

I want the people in charge to make the rules so that trying to win creates a game that is entertaining. And doing things that aren't entertaining is punished. I think that's probably the best way to keep the game popular, not lose fans, and end the conversations about baseball being "boring".

Also, punish stalling of any kind.

Well, I'm kind of torn on this one. Because I think it depends on what we consider stalling. I know you're a serious fan and you appreciate the finer points of the game. But the casual fan- and casual fans are the lifeblood of any sport- may not care about such things.

For example, the entire game of baseball is timing. There is an elaborate dance between the batter and the pitcher during every plate appearance. My wife compared it to sumo wrestling. Stepping off the rubber, asking the umpire for time just as the pitcher begins to wind, stepping out of the box, holding the ball for what seems like an interminable amount of time. These are all things that might be considered "stalling". In fact, I'm certain the casual observer considers them pointless and tedious. But they are at the heart of the game.

To me the strike zone should be larger but more importantly it HAS to be more consistent. I don't care one way or another about electronic means but this Ump to Ump to Ump stuff is done for me.
