They should be gone because this team is not competing in the timeframe in which they'll be around.
If you're lucky you're competing at the tail end of Yelich's contract, which means he's getting old and value is decreasing but you'll be in a position where you'll have to resign him for poor value.
And also, PR wise, just rip the band-aid off. Do Yelich and JT bring more fans to the ballpark? Probably not. But if next offseason the Marlins make two MORE blockbuster trades? It's all "here they go AGAIN!"
