Pirates Trade Partners

Has anyone noticed the focus that Huntington seems to have with the Cleveland Indians and to a lesser extent the Yankees? Just recently, for example, we signed or traded for Stinson, Sellers. We released Axford, Gomez. Just some recent samples. Burnett, Martin were Yankees. Again, just samples.
There are 29 other teams out there. Am I over-analyzing or does Huntington, who CAME from Cleveland have blinders on?
