At the time the Bradley signing was seen as a no-brainer by pretty much anyone. It's still very likely that that ends up being a very good signing. Trading DeRosa for max value was a smart move. Whether he actually got max value is certainly up for debate. Not signing Wood was, whether people like it or not, a good move. That's way too much to pay for a closer with that kind of injury history. Gregg is obviously not the ideal person to have, but he's likely to be serviceable and he's also likely to net the Cubs 2 picks after this season. Obviously nowhere near being the ideal offseason, but it wasn't the worst.
