The Braves have collected the final piece of their outfield puzzle for 2013 and beyond.  The Braves and Arizona Diamondbacks have agreed to a deal to bring Justin Upton to Atlanta.

In return the Braves will send Martin Prado, right-handed pitcher Randall Delgado, minor league infielders Nick Ahmed and Brandon Drury and right-hander Zeke Spruill to Arizona.

Upton, the first overall selection in the 2005 Major League Baseball Draft, will join his older brother, B.J. and Jason Heyward in an outfield that, at least on paper, will be one of the best in the National League.

The younger Upton batted .280 with Arizona last season with 17 homers; He hit 31 in 2011 and has 108 in his brief big league career.

In the deal, the Braves also get infielder Chris Johnson, who batted .281 with 15 homers with the D-Backs last season while playing both second and third. 

Prado leaves the Braves as one of their most dependable hitters over the past five years.  A career .295 hitter, he hit .301 to lead the Braves last season.

Delgado, one of the top young “arms” in the Braves system, split time between Atlanta and Triple-A Gwinnett last season where he was a combined 8-12 with 125 strikeouts.

B.J. Upton was obviously very excited yesterday when he heard the possibility of playing in the Atlanta outfield with his younger brother.  Posting on his Twitter account: 

"Wow these @)JUS10UP10 rumors have me excited. Please don't tease me like this... Would be a dream come true if it happens."

The dream is true, B.J.
