He is spending like a wild man and overpaying for prospects.
Ricketts is a far more efficient owner thus far, paying appropriate sums and rebuilding for long-term success. Johnson gave fucking Yasiel Puig 42 Mill, and BA said he would have ranked #11 on their International Prospects list, nobody ahead of him on that made more than $1.
Definitely committed to winning, but I'm not sure it is the "right way" when he is being totally inefficient with his money. But hey, if you have a shitload of money and want to spend it, then by all means go for it.
