The Braves Get Justin Upton
By Kyle Scott
Published:
Justin Upton has just been traded to the Braves, where he’ll join his brother, B.J., in an outfield that will rival the Phillies’ offering of a platoon player, Ben Revere, and a guy who has a fat clause in his contract.
All-Star outfielder Justin Upton has been traded from the Arizona Diamondbacks to the Atlanta Braves, reports CBSSports.com's Jon Heyman. The deal is pending a physical, but is otherwise complete.
The full trade, via CBSSports.com's Danny Knobler, is the Braves getting Upton and third baseman Chris Johnson. The D-Backs get third baseman/outfielder Martin Prado, starting pitcher Randall Delgado, minor-league shortstop Nick Ahmed, minor-league pitcher Zeke Spruill and minor-league infielder Brandon Drury.
