if it's a total dumpster fire, sell everythign you can now for the youngest possible returns. if you think it's going to take ~5+ years to fix, a AAA guy is going to be nearing 30 by then... and an established mlb guy will be ancient by mlb standards. so, think about window of time when choosing what to trade for -- also using tha tplayer is irrelevant. you'll likely package them in some other deal later in time... again, more reason to get a yougner player than an older prospect or mlb player.

even the worst team can be rebuilt in 2-3 years, but probably best to continue sellin off any decent FA you sign for future assets too before you lose them. make the team truely elite over time with a cavalcade of young, cheap prospects mixed with a few expensive contracts.

any market size can succeed with this strategy. with ny/la you would be winning 120-130+ games a year in no time.
