The point is that there is no reason what-so-ever for the team to stick to it. Yes, if the team insists on acting like a mid-market team they won't add Pujols but it shouldn't be assumed that that will be the case and we shouldn't let the org get away with it if they do.
The skepticism towards adding Pujols is mostly just the cynicism M's fans have acquired with the penny pinching and incompetence of the last 8 years of this org. Just because this team has refused to pay for elite talent doesn't mean that we are Cincinnati and can only get players like Carlos Silva.
