The Arizona Diamondbacks went more than $200,000,000.00 in debt when they brought in Randy Johnson and Curt Schilling to win the World Series. They rolled the dice, got lucky, and haven't been competitive since that team was disbanded..
I could go for signing Albert Pujols if he was what it would take to put the Cubs over the top. But what other player(s) besides Albert would the Cubs have to acquire and would you be willing to pay the price? And could you live with: “Yeah, but you didn't win the World Series, you bought it”?
When the ultimate goal is within reach, then do whatever it takes to make it happen. Until then, continue to build the farm system.
