Rumors: Justin Upton to the Phillies?

A few ESPN sources are reporting that trade talks between the Diamondbacks and Phillies are heating up. The main talk has been about sending right fielder Justin Upton to the Phillies, with Arizona receiving pitcher Cliff Lee in return. The Phillies would also send some money to the Diamondbacks if the deal goes down.

The D-Backs have been shopping Upton since last year's trading deadline and there have been plenty of suitors for the young power hitter. Teams such as Cincinnati, Boston, Detroit, and now Philadelphia have all been mentioned.

As of now these are only talks, but if anything official happens, The Flex will have it here first.
