Not sure what your goal is, but if it is "good team reaps all of its rewards", I'm not sure the OOTP engine can accommodate that. It is, after all, intended to mimic the MLB model, and past practices. And MLB does not directly reward good teams, and actually penalizes them, in the amateur draft.

My goal with financials, for example, is to force teams to spend a minimum number on total salary. Looking at you, Pirates, Royals, Rays (Montreal Mounties, in my sim), Reds. A spending floor seems to promote overall team parity better than a salary cap or luxury tax.

Settings of no revenue sharing and no sharing of gate receipts will virtually insure that "the rich get richer" and the bad teams get worse. If that is what you want, you'll likely achieve it. Some romanticize baseball in the Depression Era by a focus on the great Yankee teams. I tend to focus more on awful teams like the Phillies and Athletics and Browns, and of course on the Negro Leagues. I prefer parity and competitive balance. YMMV and OOTP can help you achieve either goal.
