Rockies and Red Sox said to be asking around.
So to my eyes, someone like Jordan Patterson is about what we could expect from the Rockies. Way overaged in AAA but a lefty stick with some ability to play OF/1b. Hits for power but has a lot of swing/miss in his game. He's completely blocked in Colorado.
If you could move Norris for a lefthanded stick with power that could contribute off the bench right away and form part of a viable platoon with Bader (sorta) going forward, you'd have to consider that a win. The Rox have no real use for him (Ramos would slide right into his role at 1b in AAA) apart from trade capital and the Cardinals need a lefthanded bat in the worst way.
Makes sense from my chair.
