Very true. Look at Oakland. They are the reigning AL West champs and have the lowest payroll in baseball.
The thing I like about what the Mariner management is doing is that they fully committed to rebuilding from the ground up in a way like the Rays did. They are developing young players and piecing the team together that way. In theory this could mean that when those players develop the team can be good for a while instead of just one year.
