Honestly, if AA can extend Shark if a deal does happen, then that's not a bad way to help transition this team into one built around longer term success. shark is in his prime years and a 5 year deal would be the best of his career. This is exactly the type of trade targets AA should be focusing on if he intends to go that route.
Not to mention the fact that in two years this team will have virtually no commitments other than Reyes. The financial flexibility is there to fix a lot that went wrong. Just don't deal Stroman, he is ready now and 6 years of control is great.
Lock up Rasmus long term as well and go from there.
