Jays trade hillbilly Norris for star pitcher David Price

Daniel Norris, the Jays prospect that made wade waves during the winter for his so-called hillbilly lifestyle (he sleeps out of a van and enjoys surfing), has just been traded to the Detroit Tigers for former Cy Young award winner David Price.

Norris was quick to turn to Twitter with an odd comment about the Tiger's manager Brad Ausmus.

Brad Ausmus is my 2nd cousin.

Price, for his part, tweeted just before the trade was announced.

I don't care what happens today...I'm taking BP at 2 in Camden no matter what...don't care what anyone says

On Twitter, fans were quick to react with their shock and endorsement of the move.
