Without signing BJ, we probably don't get JUpton.

Why are the two moves related? BJ was a FA signing and Justin was via trade. It's not like we needed to sway Justin to decide to come here via FA and we didn't have to convince him to sign an extension..

Sorry if a stupid question, I wasn't really paying attention to baseball in the winter

Regardless, this team is badass. Even if his OBP is below .300, I still expect him to add around 25 HRs to the bottom of the lineup.

BJ and Justin wanted to play together.

Justin Upton had used his no-trade clause to nix a recent deal to the Mariners, and his saga seemed to drag on forever. He was holding out for a brotherly reunion.


It could have happened, but I doubt it. BJ was the key to the trade.
