The subject of tanking was raised at the most recent Major League Baseball owners meetings, according to sources.

The question is whether some teams are intentionally building bad rosters in order to improve their standing in subsequent drafts.

There haven't been any official steps taken toward exploring the question of whether teams are endeavoring to lose.

If Major League Baseball decides to pursue an adjustment to the rules to deter teams from pursuing a tanking strategy, there will be an immediate opportunity, given the ongoing negotiations for a new collective bargaining agreement. The current agreement expires in December.
