Because Justin Upton is still only 25 years old and is going to be making the same amount of money as Shane Victorino over the next 3 seasons.

You Orioles fans are cute. Get one good year in you and suddenly baseball began in 2012.

Justin Upton is one of the 5 most talented OFers in major league baseball and you'd be giving up a nice starting pitcher and a defensively limited prospect who's never shown a thing above AA and is all of one year younger than the 2-time All-star with over 100 career HRs and a top 5 MVP finish.

That's why the Rangers would do this deal.
