Cleveland acquired Horwitz after lunch and flipped him to Pittsburgh for three pitchers before it even got to its fourth meal. Meanwhile, the Pirates needed a first baseman, and I think they still do.

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 26-year-old Giménez batted .252 with nine homers, 63 RBIs and 30 steals last season. He was acquired by the Guardians as part of the Francisco Lindor blockbuster trade with the New York Mets in January 2021.
