Tigers general manager Al Avila said on October 19 that the team knew about Norris’ cancer prior to the July 30 trade of left-handed ace David Price, and that Norris is expected to make a full recovery for spring training. At the time Norris was told by his doctor that he would still be able to complete the season with no threat of the cancer progressing and getting any worse.
