What do proponents of anti-taking measures think the outcome will be? Perhaps, all teams are equally trying to win so they all end up at .500 records. Maybe they're all trying so it comes down to luck or injuries. Or all teams are trying to win so all 30 teams are in on the best free agent available and the free agent signs with the team that can give them the most money. Let's not confuse losing with tanking either. I can understand the sentiment for wanting to penalize teams that are truly tanking, but it's seems unfair to penalize teams that are trying to win but unfortunately lose. As disappointing as the Twins' season was, I don't think I could be convinced that they were tanking. This past season would be that much more frustrating if there were anti-tanking measures in place. Honestly, I don't even think tanking is the problem. I think it's just a symptom of the problem that is the unlevel playing field of Major League Baseball. I like the fact that there are alternative ways to winning than just spending the most money. Small market teams have found that they can improve their chance to win and the cost is a rebuilding period. Ideas like anti-tanking measures seem like they're just ways to take away those alternative ways to win.
