I don't want to route for a valuable team, I want to root for a winning team.
But, the inherent chicken v. egg question presents itself here. Do you need to spend money to win? Or do winning teams spend money? Winning leads to revenue leads to increased payroll? Or increased payroll leads to winning leads to revenue? Or revenue leads to increased payroll leads to winning? Not sure what the proper order is.
Though the inherent relationship between winning and revenue will once again make me reiterate that past performance is by far the best predictor for future success when it comes to baseball.
The M's cannot afford not to win.
