Considering that the Diamondbacks were supposedly offered this

Arizona would have received Nick Franklin, Charlie Furbush, Stephen Pryor and one of Taijuan Walker, Danny Hultzen or James Paxton.

I could see the Mariners getting a call from the Marlins about Stanton. Maybe add some money from Seattle, Justin Smoak, and another top prospect NOT from the Walker/Hultzen/Paxton group and you should have trade.

I'm starting to think we would have to put 5 players on the table to get upton

What orioles package do you realistically think it would take to get Upton?....

I'd like to remind everyone with Upton fever that this is a 25 YO player that Arizona is working over time to unload. There's probably a reason for that. I might have been tempted to give up a chunk of our future for Stanton until I regained my senses. But for Upton? No thanks.
