The teams with more money will take all the talent, and KC will continue to be a farm team for the cities with lots of money to throw around.

Hopefully the owners realize what a consistent winner does for the city and fan base as a whole.
Maybe this shifts an organizational philosophy towards spending more and winning more. |

This I don't understand how glass or the Clark's don't realize what a consistent winner does look at the Yankees fan base.

Let's see what happens when they start seeing merchandise fly off the shelves. When they have extra games selling tons of beer and standing room only tickets.
Take all of that extra playoff money and put it directly into James Shields' pocket. |

When asked about Shields becoming a free agent Dayton Moore said and I quote "We're not going to be big players in the free agent market this year." I'm hoping that if this team can shock the Angels ownership may focus on at least re-signing BGJ. Otherwise? Outlook not so good.

Fans will now give the team a "honeymoon" period of loving the team for awhile because they've had a couple of winning seasons and an exciting playoff win. Free agents will still largely go where the money is and almost always, it won't be here. Despite some minimal revenue sharing compared to 10 years ago, there's still no way to really compete with the Yankees, Red Sox, Dodgers, etc. on signing free agents and re-signing young stars that came up in the system once their contracts are up. |

It's a drop in the bucket. Pocket change. Plus, they need Shields AND someone who can hit a few over the fence. |

Merchandise and beer sales at a few games? Come on man.
It's the $2 Billion cable TV contracts that are the problem. Money that they don't have to share.

Gotta keep drafting well because this really means nothing in the long term in regards to free agency and team building.
Really what it hopefully does is start establishing a culture of winning and an expectation of winning in the organization. If you read all the pieces on Dayton Moore, you'll see that he has worked really hard to turn the losing attitude around. But the payroll will not increase, so we need to draft well, spend wisely, and hopefully stay competitive for a while... |
