I think hubris from Rutherford can be attributed to that trade.
He and the GM were just extended the week before, so feeling good personally, team was on a roll, so feeling good professionally, and he wanted to show off for all his fellow execs at the all star weekend by making a splash with all the media there, and thus overpaid vs what he could've done now.
And, given the rumblings in Vancouver, likely he wouldn't be in the market for Lindy if he was still available tomorrow anyways.
