You'd like to think that if the Royals begin to have some success organically, sell more tickets, etc. that ownership would then be wiling to spend money on another star or two that leads to more winning and money. If they start to win games, free agents are more likely to be interested as well. Perhaps most importantly, young players can also be traded for more established productive players.
The other thing we overlook is that if you put better players in the lineup in Moose, Hosmer, etc., that makes Butler and DeJesus and Gordon and everyone else better. Greinke and Soria become recognized "stars" that we can appreciate because their efforts lead to wins.
