Toronto Recieves: RP Jared Hughes $700,000 2019-20T
Texas Recieves: 5th Round AMA Pick RP Heath Hembree $600,000 2018
Toronto Reason: To be honest, I am not prepared for the amateur draft and know very little about selecting players who were just drafted so this is one way to alleviate an extra decision I have to make. The main point though is I figured this was a cheap way to upgrade my bullpen for next year (and potentially the year after), when I plan to compete, with a pitcher in a good situation who has been pitching well. It was originally going to be Hughes for the pick, but Texas needs Hembree to meet the RP start quota. Lastly, my farm is very full at the moment so I am already going to have to make some difficult decisions post amateur draft.
Side note: I will be posting a list of minor league players I am open to trading (hopefully) soon so keep an eye out for that if you are interested.
Really easy to work out a trade with Joe. He posted what he wanted and I was able to give it to him.

Texas accepts.
I feel like I'm not good enough to compete for the division this year. I also want more ammunition in the draft this year. Not the highest pick of all time, but I just signed Hughes from FA and I got a 5th for him. Hembree is a strikeout guy and is getting a few holds, so I like him especially on an expiring.
Hughes is now getting saves, which makes him valuable. I'm not really in the market for saves, so I shipped him off.
Thanks, Frank!

+10 TEX, its not a huge haul. But its a pretty nice haul for a guy TEX signed a couple weeks ago. I too like to look for the potential in in-season FAs. So when I see nice returns on guys that were acquired for a small amount of risk (League min and some term) I do admire it.
