Penalty for being too good?

Sorry if this is old ground- I’m new to OOTP 26 GO.

My team is in low silver league. Was leading league in record, runs, etc and on pace for 100 wins. Had lost 3 in a row only a few times. Then I purchased 3 players (2 were 100 rated and one was 96) and immediately my team lost 5 in a row, 8 of 9 and 15 of 20. All hitters stopped hitting and pitchers suddenly started getting rocked over and over.

As of the moment this is still going on. Is there a “team became too good for low silver” penalty suppressing performance? Should I bench/sell/deactivate the new players?

For example, I’ve seen some tournaments where there is a “salary cap” = average PT rating of your active roster. Does a “too high” team salary at some point result in a negative performance penalty or nerf your team on the field?

Thanks!
