Good deal for a potential 30/30 guy. Replace Bourn's SB ability and gain power. I think the change of scenery will help Upton as well.

I disagree, Upton will be a miniature version of Carl Crawford. He had no pressure in TB, virtually as little as you could have at the big league level, and now will be under a microscope. Moreover, his first half of the 2012 season was piss poor. He was dreadful without Longoria in the line up and his "hot second half" brought his batting average up to a whopping .246 on the season.
5/$75m is a bit of a reach. He's usually solid on D but is known for lapses of mental focus and not really hustling. When you mix that with a .255 career clip, the result is not a franchise player.

Final figure on the contract is that's its a five-year deal, worth $75.25 million.

If anything, it pretty much ends Bourn's time in Atl. It will be intersting to see where he signs.
