The key to baseball is building a farm system and keeping your own star players. Braves and Cardinals have been that model. Royals did that right with Salvy but haven't produced anyone else. Then fill the holes with a FA or trade.
Royals with a new stadium would be in the middle of the pack salary wise easily. That is where Denver, St. Louis and Minneapolis is. Have no doubt the Royals would be as well.

The Royals suck at developing players and proceeded to keep all those guys...how long has Lonnie Goldberg been here now?
The point is no you aren't going to build a championship team in FA but you should be looking for valuable pieces that can fit in to what you are doing and the Royals don't even do that. They can spend money they choose not to.
