PITTSBURGH -- The Pirates added to their infield mix on Wednesday by acquiring utility man Erik Gonzalez in a five-player trade with the Indians, but they're not done looking for a shortstop or a short-term solution in right field.

Pittsburgh dealt outfielder Jordan Luplow and out-of-options infielder Max Moroff to Cleveland for Gonzalez, who is also out of Minor League options, along with 19-year-old pitching prospects Tahnaj Thomas and Dante Mendoza.
