Rockies trade:
Wilmer Difo, SS, WAS (prospect) to HOU
Astros trade:
Dermis Garcia, SS, NYY (prospect) to DEN Nick Burdi, RP, MIN (prospect) to DEN
Garcia has some pop in his bat for a middle infielder that will generate some nice stats when he finally arrives. Burdi is nice addition given how thin my bullpen staff is and he is on a very fast track to the big league club and a late inning or closer spot.

Astros accept.
I've got about 8 RP's in my quest to act like I have some elite pitching, Burdi isn't needed. Garcia is barely 17. While I may think that I can evaluate talent well, there's no chance that I can predict how a kid who can barely drive legally is going to do. Some say he might be great, but he won't be up till 2019 at the very, very earliest.
Difo, on the other hand, has a straight shot at the job in the majors, and I've got a roster hole warmed up for him and his cup of coffee.
I got left with nothin but a Penny...so I had to learn to do it the Hardaway.
