According to Kenny Williams, no one is sure in the organization if they are buyers or sellers, or a combination of.

 

I guess they are waiting for the outcome of the Cubs series. Sweep = Buyers. 3 of 4 = Buyers. Split = combo of buyer/seller.

 

Split Cub series & Win Minny series = Buyers

 

I'm pretty confident they are standing pat or will make a minor selling move. I think they want to sell more but the buyers are being stubborn with prospects.

I think it is silly to base your organizations future on two series victories. They need to look at the big picture-- something they rarely do. I have zero faith Hahn/KW will make the best decision- directionally for this organization.

Making no moves is a huge mistake for this organization.

No, making bad moves is a huge mistake for this organization. They should only make moves that "on paper" improve the team. There is a much bigger trade market in the offseason but usually more desperate traders now.

Agreed. However I think they only deal one of Shields/Gonzalez inserting Ranaudo into the rotation and Robertson and/or Duke. So 3 trades max. I think they try to retool in the offseason and try to compete in 2017 if they don't get a huge haul for Sale or Quintana.
