We already have this rule:
When a team is 17-65 at the all star break, and they finished with 44 wins last year, it is time to do something. I suggested 10 mild, inexpensive fixes. It involved no financial penalty. It involved no forced FA signings (I suggested signing one free agent RP which I would have paid $1 M towards.) It involved no forced spending to meet a certain Salary Floor. Because my main gripe is that YS9 is playing several players (including almost the entire pitching staff) that just shouldn't be there, and replacements were in the team's own Farm System, on the waiver wire, and, yeah, so that to me is egregious tanking. And it started last year with some of these same pitchers.Tanking
The act of tanking (purposefully attempting to lose games in the regular season to increase draft position) is very much frowned upon by the Governing Board and league as a whole, and GMs are highly encouraged to ‘tread carefully’ in this matter. As such, when especially egregious or repeated tanking occurs, the commissioner reserves the right to levy penalties against the perpetrating GM.
Proposed Bogus Player Penalty (what used to be called the the YS2022 Rule Proposal)
Negatively impacts the league. This means, I mean this includes a ridiculous record (16-57) after a 44 win season last year. This means I think this is egregious and repeated. So you got a team that is not even a ML team. That's all I ask. Teams field a ML team. My suggestion is simply a penalty that the commissioner can use, or not.PROPOSAL: a GM or GMs that, in the view of the Commish/GB/league determines is/are fielding several players that have no place playing in the Majors, so that it negatively impacts the league, shall not benefit from the team's W-L record and that record will not be used in calculating the Draft Order Determination (DOD). Instead, a record of the commissioner's/GB's making shall be substituted, such as 81-81, because the three-year DOD rule was never meant to reward GM's.
