Here is an interesting analysis of the new CBA between the owners and MLB players---

Bargaining power - MLB - Yahoo! Sports

This agreement seems to be mostly the status quo for baseball. Most of these things are just the natural progression from the last contract. Once agains little teams are getting pretty much left out of the real money. The free agent rule is somewhat more interesting than the other stuff just because it attempts to change some of the flaws in that system. i guess we will see what happens.

How much richer can the rich get without feeling guilty of not being philanthropists?

Well I don't know about that quote. Now that the draft compensation picks are leaving, smaller market teams (like Oakland) will have to find a new way to build their teams.
