I think he and his agent are going to want to do both as long as possible.
It is what makes him unique from others and it is what helps add to his contract value
Especially with him being great at both.
And usually when he gets “pitching hurt” and cannot pitch he has been able to still be the DH.
And with him Being the DH it minimizes the risk of injury as a position player.
He can see him signing a long term contract (8 to 10 years) and doing the pitching for 4 more years or so(perhaps more since he is not wearing down from playing in the field) and then switching to hitting only. But I do not see this happening for at least 4 more years of pitching
