I think this is a much worse than any of the offers you mentioned in your other post. I actually like Stubbs more than Heyward, so you’re better of dropping Norris if you can't do one of the other deals.

Thanks for the quick feedback. I just feel like Heyward should be able to turn it around this second half, so I was curious if this was a good time to to buy low on him.
I don't know the background to this deal. Is it a keeper league? What were the other offers on the table that the other posters alluded to? In a redraft I'd stick with Stubbs, even if Norris must be dropped. Heyward isn't 100% this season and probably won't be for the remainder of the year. Stubbs has underperformed, but even when hitting near the Mendoza line, he still finds ways to be plenty valuable with homers and steals. Still, why is it that you have to drop Norris. At this point, he shouldn't be dropped in any league. Again, it's hard to give a good solid answer without more info, but I did my best. If you like, repost this link in my thread that you replied to earlier and I can revisit. If you do, though, it would be nice if you could elaborate on what you said previously.
I, too, would stay with Stubbs in a redraft. I think Heyward just looks lost right now. The announces on ESPN last night were talking about how he has not adjusted his swing at all to fit to MLB pitching. Bobby Valentine said that his swing was "unsustainable at the major league level."
Hard for me to write as a Braves fan, but there it is.
If its a keeper league then yes, but in a 1 year league then this makes zero sense at this point in the year. Dont overthink the trade deadline gentleman!
