12:41 AM ET 11.10 | Diamondbacks outfielder Justin Upton has long been included in trade rumors under the helm of Kevin Towers at GM. It seems like every offseason the D-backs are looking to trade him, and each time has resulted in Upton staying put. Towers has said that it would take an overwhelming deal for him to decide to move a guy with enormous talent like Upton. But perhaps, after so many times putting him on the block, any good deal is enough to get a return before the relationship becomes poisoned.

Here is the problem: "Towers has said that it would take an overwhelming deal for him to decide to move a guy with enormous talent like Upton."
And the result: "It seems like every offseason the D-backs are looking to trade him, and each time has resulted in Upton staying put."
Towers' judgement of Upton's "talent" is different than the rest of MLB. Now, Towers may be right--but if so, he should keep Upton and refuse to trade him. By offering to trade him, it looks as though he knows the guy is overvalued, and is shopping for a sucker.

The Dodgers should see if Kemp will agree to stay out of centerfield and trade for Upton. He's only 24. I think he has some really good years ahead of him.

Upton is going somewhere, it just remains to be seen where. Upton is a talent, but has not delivered as expected. Texas has the goods that Zona needs and wants to get the job done.
