It's a rough life living a couple of miles from the Ted.

Jon Heyman on Bourn, Upton
Heyman says six teams remain interested in Michael Bourn. The Rangers and Mariners are the two clubs most interested. Heyman also indicated that there are four "mystery teams" in on Bourn that he identified as the Orioles, Braves, Mets, and Cubs.
Heyman reported Tuesday that things have quieted on the Justin Upton front, but also indicated that Arizona has made it clear they will trade an outfielder and he still believes Upton is more likely to be traded than Jason Kubel. Texas, Atlanta, Tampa Bay, and San Diego are the clubs Heyman identified as still being in it for Upton.

Do what? Mejia put up those numbers in AA...career back up at best. Freeman is the best young 1B in the NL AND has 3 years till arbitration. Good lord, perhaps the dumbest thing the Braves could do.
Mejia isn't even a top 10 prospect in the organization.

My buddy works at the Marriott in Buckhead and he said Scott Boras checked in last night, ordered room service and didn't leave a tip. Take it for what it's worth, but Bourn is coming back.

At least it looks like we will know something soon:

I just hope they don't trade kubel or get a good offer for him before we can land Upton.

Seems more and more like Kubel will be moved. I hope I am wrong but it looks that way.

D-Backs talks with the Braves about JUpton have resumed; ATL said to be in hard on this. They're likely the frontrunner, if JUpton is dealt.
