Maybe I'm missing something, all the diamondbacks wanted was either Elvis or Profar for Upton? I don't see why the Rangers wouldn't give up one, especially Andrus since be is only under team control for two more years, seemed like a no brainer. What am I missing?

A young controllable AS level SS or a potential superstar middle infielder (Profar) was not worth giving up for Upton.

Upton isn't getting moved.

And to answer your question, because Andrus/Profar have a lot more value than Gregorius.

Gregorius has a great glove and nice speed, but he's weak with the bat, has no power and doesn't steal any bases.

Because it's a lot harder to find a great shortstop than it is to find a great corner outfielder.
