But what is the Pardee ownership supposed to do. Not spend money and keep losing? At least this way they can claim that they are making an effort to get better.

MLB teams make an offensive amount of money, and choose not to redirect it into players that can help their on field product. The league needs a salary cap so it can avoid the embarrassment of a John Tavares level free agent not having a team by spring training.
Harper should've been a day 1 signing. A 6 time All Star, MVP who's 26. "He wants too much money". No, you want too much money, Billionaire. You sit in your cave atop a mountain of gold demanding everyone take less for the good of the team. Except you, the guy with three commas in his net worth.
Imagine Sidney Crosby being unsigned in September because he wants what's his. Laughable. And they call themselves a professional sport.
And while I'm all fired up, it's a joke what the Jays are going to do with Vlad Jr. Start him opening day. When he hits free agency a year earlier, PAY HIM.
