Justin Upton heading to Boston?

Arizona Diamondbacks 23-year-old outfielderJustin Upton has reportedly been made available in trade. Like Christmas shoppers taking full advantage Black Friday, the phone lines began to ring with aggressive suitors. Upton has five-tool talent and is under team control for four more years after signing a 5-year, $51.25 million deal last March. He hit .300 with 26 homers, 86 rbi’s, 30 doubles, and 20 steals in 2009, his first full season, but though he had a setback this past season due to a nagging shoulder injury he still hit 17 homers, drove in 79, and is still drawing comparisons to a Reggie Jackson-Ken Griffey Jr. hybrid.
