i actually think they are gettin him cheap too. i mean since im a cubs fan ill use them as an example. fukodome was signed for 12 mil a yr and sori for like 16 (or somethin like that). i would a whole lot rather pay upton 8.5 and get a player that is way better and has way more upside than either of those guys. its a steal for the d-backs. almost as good as them gettin mark grace back in ’01 haha

Good signing by the DBacks. Upton has such a bright future and is already a rising star in the league. His deal will prove to be very favorable in the long run as his production should meet or exceed what he will be paid over the term of the deal. This signing is similar to the Rays locking up Evan Longoria a couple years back. It is good to see teams locking up their talent and saving them from hitting the open market for the highest bidder.
