In light of Tabata's DFA

Dear Buc's Dugout Pit Community,

First, allow me to introduce what I'm doing here. So, on Googledocs I run a fake MLB organization because I am currently in high school, and I want to become a major league general manager in the future. I did it over the offseason, but then I decided to do a challenge and start mid season, and put it together using the cast offs of other organizations (MilB releases, DFA'd guys etc.). To avoid making lopsided trades, I get into contact with beat writers on twitter, however, I have a more complicated dilemma currently and I want to reach out to the fanbase and get your opinions on a potential deal.

So, with the lack of available players and the fact that I began after the draft (Bad timing I guess haha) I figured the only way that I could add anything with substance is to assume bad contracts and reap a return. With the last fake organization I did this with people such as Ricky Romero. Anyway, This is what I was thinking, if you could just tell me what you think here I would really appreciate it.

So, in light of today's transactions (the DFA's) I was thinking of a potential trade. The trade would consist of me acquiring Tabata (while eating his contract) and Jayson Aquino in exchange for Jeff Bianchi. Jose Tabata is essentially dead money, who will likely sit in AAA and Aquino won't be major league ready until mid-next season at the earliest and projects as a 4 starter. If you could let me know if you would be ok with this deal I would greatly appreciate it and if not can you please inform me of any changes that you would make in the comment section below. Thanks very much! Below is the link to my sim team's depth chart and transactional pages.
