Fantasy Impact:
The Pirates just dealt reliever Tony Watson prior to Monday's 4 PM deadline, so it is a little strange to see them turn around and acquire a veteran bullpen piece. However, the price for Benoit is likely cheap, and he is a candidate to be moved again during the waiver period. The Pirates are just 5 1/2 games back in the standings, so Benoit gives them another option in the bullpen while they try to make a run at the division.
