A tumultuous day for Pittsburgh Pirates infielder Spencer Horwitz ended with him joining a pair of familiar faces from his first full season in the big leagues

Spencer Horwitz is on the move again. Traded to the Guardians from the Blue Jays as part of a deal for second baseman Andrés Giménez on Tuesday, the first baseman was flipped to the Pirates later that evening in exchange for three players.

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