Affiliated minor leagues do not have actual finances - so the unaffiliated team in the minor league is really spending non-existant money from non-existant revenue. It's signing players to huge contracts but the dollars involved are non-existant.
Unfortunately, the players don't realize the money is non-existant and thus the unaffiliated team can grab lots of talent.
The ability to set some teams as unaffiliated in an affiliated minor league is an important and useful feature, but since affiliated leagues have no actual finances there are some unintended consequences taking place, such as what you've highlighted.
Hopefully these can be ironed out.
