They kind of did it to themselves trading for decent to good major leaguers. Guys like Shaw were supposed to be filler guys who you could trade off so I have no issues with that. Yelich is a long term cost controlled player so I have no issue with that trade either. I don't like that we also signed Cain though, I feel that move put us on a clock and I don't know that it is a reasonable one. One of these moves was enough, both of them changed the short term expectations and I think it was too soon for it. I mentioned this a while back too. The worst thing that could've happened to this team is playing like a contender last season in year 2 of a rebulid. It gave the illusion that we were better than we actually are and spending money during the offseason would be a detriment to the process.
