Former Toronto Blue Jays rookie Spencer Horwitz finally spoke for the first time since being traded to the Cleveland Guardians who flipped him to the Pittsburgh Pirates.
A little less than two weeks ago the Blue Jays decided to package Spencer Horwitz with Nick Mitchell for Andres Gimenez and Nick Sandlin from the Cleveland Guardians who then moved him to the Pittsburgh Pirates.

In an interview yesterday, Horwitz spoke on the excitement of joining the Pirates and getting to work again with Blue Jays former hitting coach Matt Hague who has been Horwitz' coach since Double-A.
"Everyone talks about the pitching and how unbelievable it is. Facing the Pirates in the Minor Leagues, I felt it firsthand.
I'm glad they're going to be on my team."

Horwitz also added how he is excited to be on a team with such incredible pitching which he says he saw first hand in the minor with all their young studs on the mound who have now made it to the big leagues like Paul Skenes.
Hopefully this trade ends up working out for the Blue Jays as they had to give up one of their best young players in Horwitz who will likely do well in Pittsburgh this upcoming season.
However, it is not surprise that the Blue Jays traded him as they had no room for him in the infield.
