That's the $64 question ?

If they have to give up current position players to do it, it kinda defeats the purpose, in the short term anyways. Could they package B. Hamilton and a couple prospects ?

The fact is though at some point they have to stop talking about rebuilding and actually start rebuilding ! They have to go get a true ace somewhere. sometime.  

I could see a true #1 starter and Harvey, Descalfani and Mahle forming a decent 3, 4, and 5 pitching staff. Can Garrett be moved up to starter to complete the rotation ?

They've basically been "rebuilding" for 4 years now. It's time ! They're not making the world series or nothing this season but if they expect to do anything next year they gotta do some moving and shaking - now !
