The Justin Upton trade rumors have heated up on Wednesday, and the Atlanta Braves have emerged as the frontrunner to land the talented D-backs outfielder.

One person who is excited about the possibility of Upton joining the Braves is his brother, B.J., who signed a five-year contract with Atlanta this offseason.

The Braves would possess one of the game’s elite outfields if they are able to unite the Upton brothers in Atlanta.
