I also don't get the they should have rebuilt sooner crowd. In hindsight sure but that would mean coming off back to back ALCS visits they should have spent that offseason shipping out Bautista, Donaldson etc? (EE was already a FA an you weren't going to trade him in the midst of a playoff push). Easy to say as a fan but almost no organizations would do that.

Not to mention that at that time baseball was going through a transition phase where prospect capital were valued more than aging MVP's. I think that market has adjusted somewhat now, but the market for Bautista and Donaldson were pretty non-existent by that time anyways.
