After the sheer silence of two months in Major League Baseball, the past week has been quite busy for both the owners and players. And following the press conference of MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred, it seems the lockout will soon be over. Apart from the CBA negotiations, Manfred also announced some major changes in MLB for the 2022 season.

When the regular season will commence, a universal DH (Designated Hitter) will be allowed for every team in MLB. And after this news broke out, NFL legend Lance Briggs suggested the former Cubs hitter, Kyle Schwarber, make a comeback to his former club.
