The Dynamo used one draft day trade to help make another one early Friday evening.
Houston acquired 29-year old fullback A.J. DeLaGarza from the LA Galaxy in exchange for $125,000 in General Allocation Money and $50,000 in Targeted Allocation Money.
Earlier Friday, the Dynamo acquired $100,000 in General Allocation Money as part of a trade with the Portland Timbers that also netted the Dynamo the No. 10 overall pick and an international roster spot for the 2017 season.
Houston sent the No. 4 overall pick to Portland.
DeLaGarza has played eight MLS seasons – all with the Galaxy – and has appeared in 204 matches.
