Justin Upton - OF - Arizona Diamondbacks

The Dallas Morning News' Evan Grant reports that the Rangers are "moving on" from a potential trade for Justin Upton.
Grant says the Rangers made a final push to trade for Upton prior to the outfielder rejecting a deal to the Mariners, but they felt Arizona's asking price was too steep. Given the reported haul the M's would have sent to the D'Backs, that's not surprising. If the Rangers are truly out of the picture and Upton won't change his mind on going to Seattle, the Braves might make the most sense as a landing spot.
