Upton on Verge of Contract Extension
During Arizona Diamondbacks FanFest at Chase Field, General Manager Josh Byrnes was asked about the possibility of signing some of the team’s young players to long-term contracts. Byrnes expressed the team was considering the possibility.
Two players were mentioned as potentially warranting a long-term deal – third baseman Mark Reynolds and outfielder Justin Upton. Of the two it seemed more likely that the Diamondbacks would be able to work out a deal with Reynolds than Upton.
