Re: What would it take to get Justin Upton?

I'm guessing that might get it done.

Phillips 2B
Upton LF
Votto 1B
Frazier 3B
Bruce RF
Heisey/ Paul/ FA CF
Hanigan C
Gregorius SS

Cueto
Latos
Chapman
Bailey
Arroyo

They'd need to find a closer and another bullpen arm. A good bench bat, maybe two.
No way that gets it done. Leake is not a top of the rotation picther, Cozart is a non-star level position player and Stubbs is spot player/interchangeable part. Would you trade Jay Bruce for that? If you wouldn't be willing to deal Bruce for whatever package being proposed, chances are that the D-Backs wouldn't deal Upton for the same package,
