With the Dodger's recent world series victory and the signing of free agent Blake Snell, fans and others are concerned that baseball is now won by the highest bidder with the highest wallet.

While money can certainly improve a team's chances, it's far from a guarantee of success, and teams must still make effective use of their resources to succeed on the field.

According to https://www.forbes.com/sites/sportsmoney/2010/10/31/can-money-buy-a-world-series-championship/ yes the amount of finical investments a team pays does increase their chances of winning. For example teams that generally have lower amounts of finical investments don't go very well, while teams that have high finical investments tend to do very well like the doggers!
