Thing is, if you can be a .500 team - and with the extra wildcard spot you can be in contention. If anything, I see less need for teams like the Cubs to trade off good players to 'rebuild' - all a team needs to do is over achieve a little bit and they could make the playoffs. Once you're in, who knows. The Cubs have some good pieces that they would regret giving up if next year they play closer to their talent level.
