Stone Crabs send: Connor Norby, MI (BAL) - Prospect
Sea Dogs send: Ian Hamilton, RP (NYY) - 24: $0.85M; 25-28: ARB James McArthur, RP (KC) - 24: $0.7M MiLB
Stone Crabs Logic: As an O's fan, it stings to move Norby, especially because I am a believer in his bat, and this is my only dynasty share of him. But ultimately, I need more bullpen depth, and Hamilton and McArthur are two high-leverage guys who intrigue me (I actually rostered Hamilton in this league last year). I like Norby better for the long haul, but with the O's crowded infield, I feel that the RP duo I am acquiring can give me the best chance to compete in 2024.
Nice talks with Sam as always, trade came together quickly. Thank you and good luck!

Confirmed! I found myself with a roster crunch and lot of RP depth, so was happy to make this 2-for-1 and help build up my farm system that I depleted a bit over the offseason. Norby might not quite be the superstar people were thinking a year ago, and he probably needs a trade to become relevant, but I’m betting on the talent here that he’ll find a way. Super quick and easy trade talks with Bailey, good luck to him and the Stone Crabs!
