In the end, Huntington did neither, a testament to both a somewhat tepid market and Huntington's belief that the Pirates aren't quite ready to bail on 2017. Pittsburgh sent reliever Tony Watson to the Los Angeles Dodgers in exchange for a pair of prospects and acquired reliever Joaquin Benoit from Philadelphia but otherwise stood pat.
