Yep, they're such a young team that you don't want to just trade some good assets for 'win-now' rentals or something, but if you can trade some of your prospect depth for help that will be under contract for another year or two at least, why not. Vladdy is having an MVP season, Semien will be an All-Star this year, they might be a little ahead of schedule.
You don't want to push all your chips in this season, but it would be nice to at least get a little bit of help to get them in the playoffs. Watching some of these game lately have been painful. Even if the bats don't put up a ton of runs some games it would be nice if the bullpen could lock it down once in a while, or at least not completely blow the games.
