Do they have a choice?

They could take it seriously, hire a competent front office and do better at draft and develop so in the long run, yes.

What we have now is a 26 man roster with 3 maybe 4 real MLB players on it and a bunch of replacement level dreck. No big time talent knocking down the door in the minors, no money for free agents and no ability to spend what little money they do have wisely.

The roster is a reflection of ownership.

How does that make the owner money, though?

It's unfortunate Lowder sucks. The whole idea of drafting him where they did was he'd be a solid 3/4 starter.
