If Rogers is to blame for delaying the rebuild then that is directly linked to low end prospect returns for the rebuild. It means they held onto Donaldson longer than they should have and then he ended up battling injuries which plummeted his value at the worst time possible.
Other than Donaldson, Shatkins had nothing high enough in value to trade for "high end" prospects. Maybe they could have seen through Sanchez' smoke and mirror season in 2016 and dealt him back then, but other than that who did they drop the ball on by not trading them for high end prospects?
