According to Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports, the Arizona Diamondbacks will "consider offers" for their star outfielder Justin Upton.
Rosenthal writes that if the D'backs can move up in the standings, they'll target a third baseman at the trade deadline in hopes of bolstering their team for a late-season playoff run. If not, however, Stephen Drew and Ryan Roberts could become trade chips.
Upton, of course, would be Arizona's biggest trade chip. The 24-year-old's contract, which contains a four-team no-trade clause, looks like this:
- 2012: $6.75M
- 2013: $9.75M
- 2014: $14.25M
- 2015: $14.5M
