Donaldson , Sanchez, Stroman, Osuna (As you don’t keep a closer through a rebuild) Pillar, Smoak , and even Martin

You weren't getting high end prospects for any of those players besides Donaldson at any point IMO.
Osuna, Stroman and Sanchez you maybe could have, but hanging onto early 20's pitchers is hardly something you can blame Shatkins for doing.
They still did pretty good on the Osuna return though despite him submarining his own value by being a woman beating scum bag, and they still might flip that into something via Giles if he can stay healthy.
Sanchez is done though, they won't get anything for him as he's terrible and everyone knows it now.
But they were never going to get blue chip prospects back for Smoak, Martin or Pillar at any time.
