I'm not saying one signing will put them as a legitimate franchise, but they went out and beat legitimate franchises for a pitcher by spending the necessary money to bring him in.

One signing is not proof that Glass is willing to spend. Actually spending the money to put together a team that is able to compete -- that will be proof that Glass cares about making this team legitimate.
If one of the big market teams wanted Meche badly enough, they would have paid him more than we could have afforded (and, by the way, it is very common for sports fans to use pronouns like "us" and "we" when referring to their team)(do you always refer to your teams as "they"?).
