Why This Trade Works
Why This Helps Guys I Have Coached
Trade Imanaga ($57) who has been disappointing (416 FPTS, 5.78 ERA early) and Tovar ($6, underperforming at 191.5 FPTS) for George Kirby ($17) who has elite projection (18.55) and is younger, plus Austin Wells ($11) to upgrade the C position. Saves $34 in salary while getting a top SP and a real catcher.
Why Honey Nut Chourio Would Accept
Honey Nut Chourio gets Imanaga who was elite in 2024 (684.4 FPTS) and could bounce back as a frontline SP. Tovar is a cheap young SS with upside. They have Wells as a backup C behind Contreras and can afford to move him. Kirby has underperformed in 2025 (353.7 FPTS) making this a reasonable sell.
