D'Backs, Braves agree to Justin Upton trade
Justin Upton - OF - Arizona Diamondbacks
Jan. 24, 2013 - 10:25 AM ET

CBS Sports' Jon Heyman reports that the Diamondbacks and Braves have "agreed to" the players involved in a blockbuster trade that centers around Justin Upton.

MLB.com's Mark Bowman says the Braves will receive Upton and Chris Johnson in exchange for Martin Prado, Randall Delgado, Nick Ahmed, Zeke Spruill and Brandon Drury. Upton finished fourth in the National League MVP voting in 2011 after hitting .289/.369/.529 with 31 homers, 21 steals and 88 RBI in 159 games as a 23-year-old. Now 25 years of age, he will be joining his older brother B.J. in Atlanta. It should be a great fit, and great theater.
