Both players were acquired by the Marlins on trade deadline day (July 30)—Norby in exchange for Trevor Rogers and Mazur in exchange for Tanner Scott/Bryan Hoeing. They were originally second-round MLB Draft picks in 2021 and 2022, respectively.

In 387 career minor league games, Norby has slashed .286/.368/.498 (124 wRC+) with 70 home runs and 45 stolen bases. He primarily played second base, but also got acclimated to left field, right field and most recently third base. Mazur has a 3.67 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 23.0 K% in 164.1 IP (38 G/32 GS).

Norby and Mazur each had cups of coffee in the majors with their previous organizations. They'll be under club control through at least the 2030 season.
