For one thing, you have to WIN....many teams crippled themselves for years (the Angels and the Yankees through the mid to late 80's....the Dodgers in the 90s) because they made desperate, "win now" moves and ended up winning nothing.

And there are pitfalls even if you DO win...Yes, the Marlins have one two World Series titles....but they then alienated their fanbase by dismantleing the team each time....you have to wonder, if they controlled the spending and maintained a consistently good product...do you think they might have a new stadium by now?  Would that stadium then secure some cash flow to build an even better team?
