The point is more, there’s no elite players being traded. You go for guys who are going to be upper mid level. Of all those players, who is more than middle six?
Sure, those cup winners were good anyway. And maybe they’d have won without the acquisitions. But those were the guys who came in an impacted a cup winner or runner up post lockout.
