The issue is not whether or not a team is rebuilding. The issue is also not "simple math." The question is fielding a team with no one in a lineup while having major league available players on your bench, which completely undermines the "simple math" argument. This combined with only a 23 or 24 game regular season basically decides division races by June or July. Make no mistake, I am not advocating for anyone to not be able to "run their teams as they see fit." Simply looking for legitimate competition for the teams vying for playoff spots. i.e The integrity of the league.
