Why This Trade Works

Why This Helps The South Side Fuck Ups

Trades struggling Seth Lugo ($20, back injury, 326.6 FPTS) and Benintendi ($5, Achilles concern) for Christian Walker ($6, 1B eligible which the team desperately needs, 375.5 FPTS with 11.48 proj) and Matt Strahm ($7, solid RP). Saves $12 in salary and fills the glaring 1B hole.

Why Guys I Have Coached Would Accept

Gets Seth Lugo who has ace upside (723.2 FPTS in 2024) and is just working through early-season back issues, plus Benintendi as a cheap OF option. Guys I Have Coached could use SP help as their rotation is thin beyond Imanaga and Greene.
