Braves Complete Justin Upton Trade with Diamondbacks

 
Just what I didn't want to see happen. Justin Upton coming to the NL East in a Braves uniform. Basically the main pieces of the deal are the Braves getting Justin Upton while the Diamondbacks get Martin Prado. Then the minor leaguers and guys who played like three games in the majors get thrown in and we have a massive six player deal. Now Justin will join his brother B.J. in Atlanta and those two will be patrolling the outfield. Atlanta is not playing around this off season, they're ready to compete for a deep playoff run. In other news the Mets have announced that a fan will pitch the 8th inning at every home game this year. Just purchase a ticket in Pepsi Porch and wait for the random drawing at the end of the 7th. 

Sidenote: The Mets were three years away from competing, they're now eight years away. This dude is 25 and not even in his prime yet. He's going to be a nightmare for NL East pitching.
