Summary
- Rockies acquired infielder Connor Norby from Marlins.
- Victor Vodnik traded to Miami for Norby and Aiden May.

The Colorado Rockies continued to build for the future by acquiring infielder Connor Norby and pitching prospect Aiden May from the Miami Marlins on Monday. The trade saw the Rockies send right-handed reliever Victor Vodnik to Miami. This transaction aligns with Colorado's objective of acquiring controllable talent for long-term growth.
Connor Norby, 26, brings major league experience and versatility to the Rockies' infield, having played nearly 200 games. Despite a recent dip in offensive production, Colorado sees significant upside and club control in Norby, who can contribute immediately and add competition. He has a career .234 batting average with 21 home runs.
Aiden May, a 23-year-old right-handed pitcher, adds depth to the Rockies' farm system. Currently at High-A Beloit, May has posted a 3.80 ERA over 68.2 innings this season and a career 3.47 ERA. He is not expected to reach the major leagues soon but represents a valuable prospect for future development.
