The Royals are literally their dream scenario. Bad team spends because they can't wait around as they keep getting screwed in the lottery and can't count on it. Royals maybe make the playoffs with players anyone could have acquired and it sends the message every team should spend to do the same thing as if it's just that easy. In theory that will drive demand and raise the average contract meaning players get more money, which is a one of the biggest goals of the MLPA.
