The Pittsburgh Pirates and Cleveland Indians made a multiplayer trade this offseason. The Bucs sent MLB role players OF Jordan Luplow and infielder Max Moroff to the Tribe while receiving athletic infielder Erik Gonzalez and two minor league pitchers. This trade seems like a small-value adding trade for both clubs, but underneath the hood, the Pirates may have found themselves much more in Gonzalez.
Gonzalez has been an above average defender during his time in the Big Leagues, earning himself his role as a defensive first Utility for the Indians over the past couple of seasons in which they have won the division title.
