What do you think is worse for baseball? Owners who spend much more than league average or owners who don't spend any money? (lemmy.world)

With the recent spending by the Dodgers and last year the Mets and Padres, it got me thinking. What's worse for baseball? Owners who spend much more or owners who don't spend even though they're in the window like the Orioles and Mariners?

Worse for baseball: underspending. Eternally cheap, bad teams can turn whole swathes of potential fans and players off the game.

Overspending is definitely frustrating to watch from the fan base of a team that could, but won't, spend, but putting more money into the sport isn't worse for it than fielding farcical loss machines.
