The '87 Twins won the World Series and had a regular season record of 83-79. Anyone that makes the playoffs has a chance if they get hot. If you've got a legit chance to win the division, you don't sell off assets -- you fortify. I would absolutely buy (without overpaying / mortgaging the future.) Adding a bat (and glove) like Bellinger feels like an upgrade over Michael A. Taylor, and provides insurance against a Taylor injury. Adding another impact bullpen arm also feels like a strong addition. Make those moves, hope the slumbering bats awaken, and enjoy the ride.
