or trade for top players in their prime ...which to me shows that they are really serious about winning championships? and why on the other hand do other baseball teams claim to want to win championships, are in a big attendance market and make a lot of money, but never get the top available talent but would rather sign say a 32 year old aging outfielder who is on the decline for a 5 year contract, while we all know full well that more than likely his production will be dropping off significantly in the next couple of years and that he may be retiring before his contract is up?
To me, even though you pay more with the first option, but you actually get way more for your money in term of production, longevity, efficiency of contracts, and attendance draw.
Why be relatively cheap and buy a short term lemon when you can spend a bit more and get the real deal that will last a long time and will get your fan base excited and spending more?
