Big-time deal that gives Atlanta both of the Upton brothers without sacrificing 'much' of their prospect depth, though Delgado was arguably their top minor leaguer. Arizona gets a very good player in Prado that fills their hole at third base.

| #2 Posted on 24.1.13 1624.43 | Instant Rating: 6.48 | I haven't seen anything special out of Delgado so I'm not too concerned about the longterm ramifications of this one. Especially getting Justin Upton at such a young age. This definitely makes up for the BJ Upton signing; who I deemed to be a more expensive version, and less impactful player than Michael Bourn.
Gonna miss Prado, he was a professional.

The best part of that macro was that the MLB Network allegedly used it after the Justin Upton trade went down, giving MLB Memes one serious happy.
