10:06 AM ET 01.06 | Justin Upton for Chase Headley? The Arizona Diamondbacks and San Diego Padres have held on-and-off discussions about a trade involving those players since July, but the talks have failed to progress, according to major-league sources. The Diamondbacks, however, continue to discuss Upton with other clubs, including the Texas Rangers and Seattle Mariners, sources say, while also considering offers for another of their outfielders, Jason Kubel. The Rangers want to acquire Upton without giving up either shortstop Elvis Andrus or infielder Jurickson Profar. Their preference is to build a package around third baseman Mike Olt, and the team is willing to add a top pitching prospect and third quality piece to the package, sources say. But the D-backs, sources say, believe they could make an even better deal for Upton with another club - possibly the Mariners, who are aggressively trying to add a power hitter.

The Diamondbacks are going to have to get more realistic expectations or they're going to start the season with one too many outfielders and no better pitching.

the rangers had proved that the texas are a prospects collector,in other words the texas had replaced the royals and the rays,but any deal should become reality,it should be for the young outfielder.,...

The Rangers have Elvis and Elvis has Boras, the Mariners have extra pitchers, the Padres have prospects, so which team would you trade with if you are the GM of the Dbacks. If I am the GM I am trading with the Mariners for their young pitchers and not with the Rangers for Elvis because with Boras you could not afford to resign him to a long term deal.

I think the Rangers need Upton to counter the PR after losing out on Greinke and Hamilton. Texas also has the right blend of talent that the D Backs want in return.
Should be done...but we've thought that before.

business has to be done with caution and alot wisdom, there are teams offering peanuts for the d'backs hitter, but that's why deals should be done carefully without any rushing in any way,,

the sensibility of the deal its too difficult to adjusted, the Teams that had Been mentioned here most of them Had refused to Trade Top Prospects,Then Again The D'backs Should Take Their Sweet time in Order to Achieve Their Goals,,,,

Predict Upton will only be traded if Profar or Simmons included in the trade...otherwise, the D'backs will trade Kubel.

Mariners are flush with great prospect arms and starters. I would think they would make the best deal for pitching. Does Upton want to go to Seattle though?
