Seth shared a story recently which I won't share unless he wants to himself - but basically he found out that Norby has a little bro in NCAA, and based on his early performances, he's a bit of a stud. SP.

His brother is Ethan Norby, a junior at East Carolina, the 5’9 LHP has 4 walks and 46 K in 31 IP so far this year. No idea about his stuff but the numbers are impressive. He’s eligible for the 2026 draft.

From what I can find, the velo is around 90 so it must be a combination of deception, command, and plus secondaries. The kid had a 19 K game against Coastal Carolina.

We'll keep tabs on this one.

Sure, I’ll take the easy win.

Sure, we all do. Do his comments signal to you, that he cares more than Basallo? He was reassigned at the same time. 

 

Mayo is 3+ years older than Basallo. Plus, Mayo already raked in the previous ST only to be sent down. He is way out of Basallo’s league in terms of ‘justified angst’ - if there’s ever such a thing.

Yeah that's a good point, 151 career games in AAA vs 21 career games in AAA definitely is a pretty big gap

Should have traded Mayo and kept Norby.

I like Norby and thought that trade was horrible, but no IMO, no way Norby should be prioritized over Mayo.

I really did not have any problem with Mayo's comments.  He wants to be in the show and cares about his career.  Good for him, voicing his opinion.
