The salary is restricted by the league, but those guys have spent considerably more than their peers on everything around the team (and really understand how to create fan experience - SEC football teams are consulting with them to pick up pointers on that).
They also made big personal investments in a soccer-only stadium and complex because they understand you have to spend it to make it.

I have no problem with the Cerner Group buying the Royals at all, they would be the best for it. MLB is just a whole different beast than MLS is.
