I think it would be good for the long term fan base for all the teams to have a realistic shot at competing at least some of the time.
Having the Yankees be the team you either love or love to hate is great.
But if you're a young baseball fan from Pittsburg I can imagine deciding to follow the NFL instead, because the Pirates as currently managed will never amount to anything. I mean, Paul Skenes and O'Neil Cruz on pre-arb is a great asset - even judicious spending could turn that into a contender, but the Pirates are managed for profits and winning doesn't improve your share of MLB transfers.
