No.
When you have the owner setting the budget, the revenue-sharing money should come BEFORE the owner takes/injects cash into the team to set the starting cash balance for the next season.
We even have a setting to limit the max amount of cash the owner will let you keep for the next season to prevent cases like my example, where poor teams would suddenly get tons of cash to spend due to revenue sharing.
What the changes did is allow poor teams to spend massive sums on account of future revenue sharing, even though the owner should be pocketing most of those revenues. The changes also force rich team to have to slash spending on account of future revenue-sharing payments, even though those payments will be covered by the owner.
I mean, the standard MLB game is basically telling the Yankees and the Mets that they should trade away 2-3 of their best players from day 1 because they can't afford them, and it is telling the Oakland As that they can afford trading for Judge and Gerrit Cole together. If you think that is how revenue sharing is supposed to work...
