It's not just a buy for this season - this is a buy for this season and the next two beyond it.
Trade cost is generally viewed as one top 100 prospect and another prospect in a team's top 10 prospects, though the top 100 prospects I've seen connected in trade scenarios for him are NOT higher than the top 40.
It helps them a lot this year (and you can hit Chisholm 1, 2, or 3) and gives them a couple of just dynamic pieces to build around.
One of Blake Mitchell, Gavin Cross, or Frank Mozzicato would likely need to be the lead piece, but I'm OK with that idea.
I would be very happy with trading Frank Mozzicato as part of the deal. He is absolute crap.

Chisholm's injury history is the only reason he's available at that price. Playing the OF full time seems to have helped him a bit.
There's some risk for KC but the upside is pretty high.
And yeah, Mozzicato is the guy I'm trying to sell on now that he has put up some decent numbers. (walks are still too high, Ks aren't high enough to pair with it).
