Norris is a left-handed starter who has a 3-10 record with the Buffalo Bisons, a 4.27 ERA with a WHIP of 1.511. Norris was drafted in the second round of the 2011 MLB draft.
#Tigers give up 2 months of David Price for (potentially) 40 percent of their 2016 rotation. Good trade for both teams. #BlueJays

In March ESPN did a feature on Norris and how he lives out of his van which you can read HERE.
David Price also weighed in on the situation.
