The players today believe that competitiveness among clubs would greatly improve the game’s entertainment value far more than shaving time with a pitch clock. There’s one-third of the teams who are tanking or simply not trying to win.

I am usually not reactionary, but perhaps it is time, in all sports, to determine draft picks by random selection regardless of where they finished in the standings the previous year.

Just like playing BINGO, the luck of the draw. I would guess that, in retirement homes, they don't give preferential treatment to the participants who haven't won in awhile.

But the leagues would have to be on their honor to not tamper. Perhaps have it handled by a bonded organization like the Oscars, etc.

The whole idea of the draft lottery in sports is evening out the teams but, as we all surmise, it has turned into favoring some teams over others.
