2/12/25 | New Pirates 1B Spencer Horwitz to miss at least 6-8 weeks following wrist surgery. New Pittsburgh Pirates first baseman Spencer Horwitz is expected to miss most of spring training after undergoing surgery on his right wrist. Horwitz, acquired in a trade with Cleveland in December, will be out at least 6-8 weeks. Pirates general manager Ben Cherington says while Horwitz remains a part of the team's plans in 2025, he did not put an exact timetable on a possible return. The 27-year-old Horwitz hit .265 with 12 home runs and 40 RBIs in 97 games with Toronto last season. The Blue Jays shipped him to Cleveland in December and hours later the Guardians sent him to Pittsburgh in exchange for pitcher Luis Ortiz and two prospects.

1/27/25 | Pirates Receive Negative Offseason Review. The Pittsburgh Pirates' inactivity so far this offseason hasn't come as a surprise, but that doesn't mean they are exempt from criticism. Despite having a young core at the major league level with more upper-level talent on the way in the farm system, the Pirates have done next to nothing to ensure that they are capitalizing on their potential window of contention. Pittsburgh has shelled out a grand total of $8 million to free agents, ranking No. 23 in total value among all MLB teams per Spotrac. The Pirates' biggest move came on the trade front, as they acquired former Toronto Blue Jays infielder Spencer Horwitz in a three-team swap that saw Pittsburgh send right-handed pitcher Luis Ortiz as well as left-handers Josh Hartle and Michael Kennedy to the Cleveland Guardians.

1/24/25 | Pirates Under Fire for Quiet Offseason. With a young and ascending starting rotation that could be capable of elevating a Pittsburgh Pirates team that went 76-86 in consecutive seasons, adding a pair of proven bats felt like a necessity this offseason. Instead, Pittsburgh has only made one addition by trading for left-handed hitting first baseman Spencer Horwitz. While Horwitz is more than capable of helping improve the Pirates offense, he's still a question mark heading into this season given he's played 112 games across two seasons in the big leagues with the Toronto Blue Jays. With the Pirates having a trio of Paul Skenes, Jared Jones and Mitch Keller and a pair of top 100 prospects, Bubba Chandler and Thomas Harrington, Baseball America analyst J.J. Cooper noted his frustration with the franchise and them sticking with the status quo rather than being aggressive in improving the offense.
