in both cases they traded away guys whose contracts are up in a couple years for guys signed through the 20/21 season. They also got younger in both trades. This is looking for longterm stability situation, with cost certainty

That was not the alternative though, and I'm not quite sure why you, and people like David Haugh, are ignoring that fact. Choosing to rebuild is a viable game plan, but having the strategy in place does you no good when the tactics taken to get to your goal are poorly done. If you want a rebuild, you need very good drafter/developer people in charge, and if you are going to sell off valuable assets you need to turn them into valuable future assets. It's kind of insane that they didn't get any future picks when trading a current star. A rebuild doesn't start just because you've sold off your assets for 71 cents on the dollar. It is amazing how much the incredibly unique strategy taken by Theo and the Cubs has blinded so many people to the actual work that has to be done to make it a success.

taking the path to blow it up and start fresh is all well and good, but you still must maximize your returns when you're dumping and most importantly must have good decision makers treading that path.

make him desperate to sign an early extension

he played there 33 times last year for the world series champions Okay? Stupid/sub-optimal decisions turning out well doesn't make the decision any less stupid or sub-optimal. You can't play 162 games with an optimal lineup. Calling all moves that are sub-obtimal "stupid" displays an incredible lack of awareness of how a manager has to ride the wave of health, energy and roster limitations over 6 months.
