This is the DD history, though. Deal off the unknown for the known. He did it for the 97 Marlins bringing in Kevin Brown, Gary Sheffield, etc and won a title. Management forced a rebuild, which was probably the best thing for the club as the rebuild was integral in their 2003 title. But DD didn’t stick around for the entire process.
DD took over a Tigers team that had lost at least 90 a season for 5+ seasons. They very nearly broke the Mets record for losses as well. But that stretch allowed them to draft high and they got good bang for their buck. They made a major trade with the Marlins and got themselves a HOF 1b. They had a HOF starter (Verlander) that came up during the WS run in 06. DD dealt from his surplus, but didn’t go for broke and added all stars to the roster. Their team was good but faded due to injury for 2 seasons before he really went for broke. Along the way, he picked up scherzer in a 3 team deal. He picked up Greene in a 3 team deal. DD was dealing young talent for young talent and it worked. But the long success thinned his farm, then he made the ill fated deal to get Price, spent an enormous amount on Prince Fielder and his team got old suddenly. Now the tigers are staring at an enormous rebuild with all 3 of their CY winning pitchers on other clubs and the extension of Cabrera looking like the worst contract in history. This is your future. DD goes for broke and he did that. He decimated your farm, stuck you with an enormous bill and has left you with an underachieving squad. But flags fly forever
