ESPN’s Jerry Crasnick is reporting that the Arizona Diamondbacks have traded outfielder Justin Upton and third baseman Chris Johnson to the Atlanta Braves for pitcher Randall Delgado, infielder Martin Prado, and three minor league players.  Upton will join his brother BJ who signed a five year contract with Atlanta at the end of last season.  BJ posted this on his Twitter page when he found out about the possibility of a family reunion, “Wow these @JUS10UP10 rumors have me excited. Please don’t tease me like this… Would be a dream come true if it happens.”  The two Upton brothers join Jason Heyward to make up one of the best baseball outfield combinations.  The Braves have been trying to make a run at a World Series for a couple of years now and have fallen just short, but Justin could be the difference maker.  Plus, how much more convenient is it for their parents who had to pick a son to watch and root for, but now can watch both at the same time!
