Its not really, but thats just the way it goes.
With unlimited spending and no salary/rating cap structure, you will never achieve "fairness". You cant say its ok to buy all you want but then complain with how people play the game if they want to move down a level. With 30 teams in a league, it will never be fair schedule-wise. You play the same teams in your 5 team division, thats about as fair as you will get.
I think "tanking" is kind of ****ty personally, so i dont support tanking - but its hypocritical to say its ok to say its ok to spend $200 and improve your team right at opening day, but then say its not ok if you want to "rebuild"/"tank" to reset your team. Teams do it in real baseball to, so its not "unrealistic".
Also, as for the rating system, that might work to some extent, but not really because you assume all teams at X level will fall within the ranges (they wont). My team in perfect leagues has an average overall rating value of 84, even though Im in second place. Im not tanking or intentionally using low rated players, its just my best team. I assume its way below most of my competition purely by ratings, but its not by effectiveness since im doing better than them. So if there was a system with caps per tier, I would have no wiggle room at all.
Its on online game, and you will always have what is perceived as random dumb stuff occurring because online games are populated by people (who do random dumb stuff). Thats why the best option is to "report" and let the people who manage that sort it out.

Let me ask you, does this look like rebuilding? The dude made the Diamond League playoffs and THEN blew up his team. It's all Iron now including reserves. Also note, I have a team Called the St Paul Fighting Saints that has nothing to do with this team.
Edit: You are 100% right about people doing dumb stuff in general. Sometimes you'll see an Iron with a million dollar starting price.....I can only assume it was a 4 year old trying to be funny.
