Agreed that he is a net positive in a vacuum - that said there could be some benefit to this if it means going with a better outfield and not getting caught-up making him an auto DH when not in the line-up.
Between Acuna, Ender, Ozuna, Duvall, we've still got plenty of outfield surplus and when you add in Riley + Camargo, we should consistently be able to field a "hot bat" on the DH

Want to talk about the numbers in China? Japan?
This stuff doesn't need to be political - we're doing a bad job as a whole.
The testing companies butchered things in several MLB camps this weekend. Players see that and it makes them uneasy. More and more are going to start opting out - call it an abundance of caution, call them Democrats, call them traitors - whatever you'd like.
