Houston Trades: Jose Fernandez, SP, (20M 2019) to Detroit Jung-Ho-Kang, SS, (2.5M 2016) to Detroit Steve Delabar, RP, (1.1M 2015) to Detroit
Detroit Trades: Bryce Harper, OF, (24M 2019) to Houston Aaron Barrett, RP, (.5M PRE-ARB) to Houston 2015 2nd FYPD DET to Houston
Astros accept.
This was all about getting some dead cap off my shoulders. I love JFer, and there's a reason why I bought low on him in the offseason, but I need to win now. This matchup with LA has shown me that, at least. Can't afford to have 20M sitting on the DL for 3/4 of the season. Barrett could be a nice option, and the 2 gave it the oomph to push the trade through.
I got left with nothin but a Penny...so I had to learn to do it the Hardaway.

I accept.
Gives me a top of the line ace and I get to save at least a minimal amount of cap room. Tough losing Harper, but I wanted to get him outta here and it is nice getting a young SS like Kang in the deal as well. Good dealing early on!
