That is already somewhat required.
By August 15th of each league year teams have to submit receipts of where every dollar of their revenue sharing profits were spent and a performance related plan on how they intend to use their funds gained through revenue sharing to improve their competitiveness to the league office, otherwise they can lose a good chunk of their revenue sharing profits. And any money gained through revenue sharing has to be spent "in an effort to improve its performance on the field".
The MLBPA believes not everyone is meeting that requirement and the league office is looking the other way.
I guess what I was meaning was the money for revenue sharing has to be spent only on player salary/making the minimum cap the revenue sharing forcing teams to spend that much on payroll. Players get extra bonus pay if the teams salary is below that that threshold.
