Houston Trades: Jurickson Profar, 2B 3B, (4.1M 2019, 3.5M paid during 2015 season) to Toronto
Toronto Trades: Keon Barnum, 1B 3B, (PROSPECT) to Houston.
Astros accept.
Profar was ultimately a luxury that we could not afford. A great deal of this move is looking ahead at 2016, when Kershaw and Kimbrel's contracts kick into full force. Additionally, this will give us a (teeny-tiny) amount of cap space to promote certain prospects.
I got left with nothin but a Penny...so I had to learn to do it the Hardaway.

ACCEPT.
In my eyes, Profar can still be the star he is supposed to be. He is 22 for the entire season. So he will come back at age 23, ready to prove he can play, and stay healthy.
