The Pittsburgh Pirates have made a significant move during the offseason by trading for infielder Spencer Horwitz from the Cleveland Guardians. In exchange, the Pirates sent three pitchers: Luis Ortiz, Josh Hartle, and Michael Kennedy.

Horwitz, who has shown promise in the minor leagues and had a brief stint in the majors, is expected to fill the first base position for the Pirates next season. This comes after the team released Rowdy Tellez, highlighting their need for a solid first baseman.
