Simple really they have said time and time again they will spend 50% of revenue. Forbes says they are at 212 mill give or take the same as the Tigers. The Tigers spend well over 50% because they have an owner that wants to win. The Pohlads could care less about winning and everything about making money. Now that they have the stadium that 50% has gone out the window after the first couple years. That was the main reason why Smith and Ryan switched offices. Smith wanted to spend the money and Ryan said he could get it done on the cheap. They called it "philosophical differences". Is there any question that if they spent around 50% of revenue every year that we wouldn't on average have a better baseball team. If they didn't then they need a new GM.
