Proceeded to make changes as outlined above and noticed that Portland (having been in 5th place) managed to sign almost all the better free agents including Eagan and Lumley. Not sure what logic the game uses to prioritize these signings, but it did seem heavily weighted in favor of Portland.
I then loaded up a backup copy, and manually drafted the first three "rounds" for each of the four teams - then let the game sign players after that. The results were more equal - BUT - the 12 signings I made did not get recorded to the player histories - from a historical standpoint, these players just magically appeared on thier new team with no signing date.
The game wouldn't allow to be set up a draft to distribute these players since I wasn't expanding the league.
At this point I need to think which is the lesser evil - to let Portland sign the cream of the crop - or to manually make it more even and accept that the signing line item will be missing in some players histories.
Leaning toward letting Portland get away with a killer signing spree.
PS: In situations like this, the game needs to document all transactions - even if we go in manually to do them.
