Bottom line is, you can spend all the money you want, but if your team doesn't produce on the field, your team is screwed.

And again, the Angels and Marlins are examples of relatively low cost, high performing teams. If MLB did go to a salary cap and/or revenue sharing, then you can bet that mediocracy would rule, where at the end of 162 games most of the teams would play .500 ball and finish within a few games of first place, thereby prompting the owners to increase the number of playoff spots to all but the last place team in each division, which would lower the quality of play even further (although the owners would call that "equalization").
