The game doesn't value rental players at all. I often trade Donaldson for Machado straight up with a 20/20 minor league veteran.

To be honest I don't love the trade for you. Harper is great and Rendon is great, but Smoak Travis Solarte are pretty useful pieces, as well as Pillar, and outside of Harper Rendon you diidnt get much back.

I think you could have kept Pillar/Smoak/Travis/Solarte and traded prospects for Rendon, though given how good Solarte is in Sims I've played I'm not sure you needed Rendon at all, who I find is better in real life than ootp. So you probably could have done Donaldson for Harper and kept the better supporting pieces and been a much better team.

This trade would be amazing for the Jays IRL, not as good in ootp.
