In league setup go to the Players tab. Go down to the bottom and adjust the Sabermetric modifiers. They work like percentages, so you can do something like your top league at 1.000, the second league 0.900, the third 0.800 etc. (* If you have a shared draft this only applies to the initial player creation)
I'd suggest creating test leagues to figure out the balance you want. It's also important to set the financials up to achieve the balance you want. You probably don't want the best free agents signing in the lowest league, but at the same time promoted teams should be competitive. Media contracts are one way to kind of regulate things. You can also manually adjust things by giving promoted teams a cash bonus.
After you initially create the game with the leagues you want go to Game > Create Association. This is where you can decide whether you want a shared draft and how you want the order to go. Changing any of the roster rules will also sync them up across all leagues, basically overwriting the original individual league settings.
To enable Promotion/Relegation you have to go into each individual league settings and on the Options tab Enable pro/rel and select how many teams and where you want them to go. Make sure enable automatic promotion & relegation is checked (it should be by default), it works well.
* In general I would recommend using a shared draft because it gives the lower league teams a chance to be on a more even playing field.
