Yes, I guess I am talking to a Cubs Fan?

I don't think they need to re-stock anything.

Pretty happy exactly where they're at:

Be happy with a team that gets you revved up for years to come, but will always disappoint when it comes pressure time? Have fun!

They would not be making the trades so much as to restock, but to change the the make up of the lineup. Imagine if they traded Baez and Schwarber to Miami for Dee Gordon and some top minor leaguers? All of the sudden, you have a player with a very high OPS that can run like the win at the top of your lineup. He gets on and dances around on a consistent basis, then all of the sudden, the batters behind him are even better, as they see rushed pitches! Yes, you say but Kyle is soooo talented!!! Well, so is Gordon and you just upgraded your team! Not only that, but you have more young talent in the minors to make a trade at the deadline to fill holes.

Just a thought, but then again, be happy with excitement, then disappointment if you must.
