Shapiro moved to rebuild by dealing aging veterans for younger talent.
He traded Roberto Alomar to the New York Mets for a package that included outfielder Matt Lawton and prospects Alex Escobar and Billy Traber.
When the team fell out of contention in mid -, Shapiro fired manager Charlie Manuel and traded pitching ace Bartolo Colón for prospects Brandon Phillips, Cliff Lee, and Grady Sizemore ; acquired Travis Hafner from the Rangers for Ryan Drese and Einar Diaz ; and picked up Coco Crisp from the St. Louis Cardinals for aging starter Chuck Finley.
Jim Thome left after the season, going to the Phillies for a larger contract.
