I think it would be prudent to temper expectations here.
We'd all like to see them spend money (YES, @Pickles, that means spend money wisely). Elias said he wants to spend money.
But I don't know if that means they actually will. I don't think Elias is the guy who's going to spend just to spend and overpay for a guy and give an extra year or two to someone who's on the wrong side of 30. I can easily see him getting to free agency and deciding that, from his perception, the market isn't good and that it doesn't make sense to spend. And so, we don't get any shiny new toys for 2023.
In other words, he hasn't come this far and meticulously put together a roster of young talent and a system of prospects to spend frivolously and make bad deals.
And then there'll be a bunch of tears on here headed into spring training about how enough wasn't done in the offseason to surround Adley, Gunnar, Hall, G-Rod, etc with good talent.
I can easily, easily see that being a scenario.
