This isn't realistic: the rich MLB teams are not bleeding money every year due to revenue sharing.
The above has a big negative impact on the finances that matter: some 20 low-revenue teams go into every year with positive cash balances equal to the cash maximum, and big teams go into every year with negative cash balances equal to the cash maximum.
The big problem is the game's truncated financials are fine-tuned to work without revenue sharing.
Without revenue sharing, every team has revenues broadly in line with their budgets and run balanced accounts or close.
Include ex-post revenue-sharing and you get big teams bleeding money, small teams swimming in profits.
A quick fix proposal: reduce the standard cash maximum for standard MLB saves to 5mn-10mn and don't let big teams have a negative cash balance.

No response to this post in almost two weeks. I have to assume there is no solution/fix. The financials are completely unrealistic with revenue sharing turned on, as you pointed out and for the reasons you expressed. Adding revenue sharing was just another 'tweek' that actually made an element of the game in need of some serious attention even more unrealistic.
