B.J. Upton Shrugs Off Trade Rumors
Jun 16, 2014 3:49 AM
Rays center fielder B.J. Upton isn't bothered by trade rumors because at this point he's used to them.
"It's been that way the last two or three years, man, so I expect it every year," he said. "I'm not too worried about it. It's out of my hands. Whatever they're going to do they're going to do. I can't control it."
Upton makes $4.825 million this season and will get bumped up to the $7 million neighborhood next season after he goes through arbitration for the third time.
That salary could be too much for the cash-limited Rays.
