The Pittsburgh Pirates have acquired veteran pitcher Marco Gonzales from the Atlanta Braves, who had just been traded to the Braves days earlier. The Pirates also obtained cash in the deal, while the Braves received a player to be named later or cash. The trade is seen as a move to address the Pirates' pitching needs. Additionally, the Pirates' president and general manager discussed the team's direction and future moves at the Winter Meetings.
