Marlins Send Connor Norby To Triple-A
4 months agoThe Miami Marlins optioned infield prospect Connor Norby to Triple-A Jacksonville on Wednesday after acquiring him on Tuesday from the Baltimore Orioles as part of the package that sent left-hander Trevor Rogers to Baltimore. Per MLB Pipeline, Norby slots in as Miami's No. 5 prospect after the trade. The 24-year-old is for real, but apparently the Fish want to give him some more time to develop in the minors before making him their everyday second baseman. Before the trade, he was serving as Baltimore's regular second baseman with Jorge Mateo (elbow) injured. Norby was hitting only .188/.188/.406 with two homers, a double and 12 strikeouts in his first nine big-league games in 2024, but his long-term power/speed upside has made him a high-end dynasty/prospect stash.
