ATLANTA--- The Atlanta Braves have aquired Justin Upton from the Diamondbacks for Martin Prado and several top prospects. This trade will unite the recently-signed BJ Upton with his younger brother, creating a power duo in the outfield. J. Upton is a powerhouse, and it can be expected that he and his brother will cut down the opposition easily. Justin Upton was a valuable asset to the Diamondbacks and will undoubtedly be the same (or better) for Atlanta. The Braves' outfield is now absolutely stacked, with the Upton brothers and Jason Heyward.
The prospects Arizona recieved are pitchers Randall Delgado and Zeke Spruill, who was ranked at number 6 on the Braves' Top 20 prospects, utility man Martin Prado, and infielders Nick Ahmed and Brandon Drury.
