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.

Infielder Spencer Horwitz began Tuesday as a member of the Toronto Blue Jays and ended it as a member of the Pittsburgh Pirates, after a brief stopover with the Cleveland Guardians.
