Staff Reports
ATLANTA — The Atlanta Braves have reached a seven-year agreement with free agent center fielder B.J. Upton, MLB.com is reporting.
The agreement, which is pending a physical exam, would bring the right-handed power hitter to replace Michael Bourn, who played center field for Atlanta this past season.
The 28-year-old Upton, who had long been noted as the Braves’ primary free agent target this off-season, batted .246 with 28 home runs in 2012 for the Tampa Bay Rays.
