Right field -- Justin Upton: Cody Ross may be friendly, and just the sort of jewel-in-the-rough player Cherington will be looking at this offseason, but in Upton, the Red Sox would have a 25-year-old franchise player whom the Diamondbacks have been on-again, off-again open to dealing. That’s despite being fourth in the 2011 MVP balloting, and scoring 107 runs this season, tied for fourth in all of baseball. He’s signed through 2015, but his salary jumps from $9.75 million next season to $14.25 million in 2014, a contract the D-Backs, who finished 13 games behind the Giants in the NL West, may want to get out of. The team has said his 2013 return is highly likely, but the way things have gone, that will change in 14 minutes.
