The Pirates are still in the hunt for the NL Central division title, so bringing in Benoit makes some sense here. He will probably be used in a setup role, and the Phillies threw in some cash to help pay for the deal.

In McGarry, the Phillies add a quality late-inning relief prospect who is 23 years old and putting up great numbers in high Single-A ball this season. He has a chance to pitch in Philadelphia by 2018, and is a budding closer.

This move should help Benoit in the short term, and McGarry in the long run. At the end of the day, this was a solid move for all parties involved.
