The Cleveland Guardians traded Horwitz to the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday night in exchange for three pitchers: lefthander Josh Hartle, righthander Luis Ortiz, and lefthander Michael Kennedy.

The Cleveland Guardians utilized big-brain thinking by acquiring Spencer Horwitz only to turn around and flip him for a solid package.

DALLAS — The Guardians can’t stop trading. A couple of hours after sending Gold Glove second baseman Andres Gimenez and right-hander Nick Sandlin to Toronto for infielder Spencer Horwitz and Class A outfielder Nick Mitchell on Tuesday night, they turned around and sent Horwitz to the Pirates.
