Few things get done at the GM meetings but sometimes names that you don't necessarily anticipate emerge as trade possibilities.

Based on the tweets, articles and blogs from the last few days, the name of the season appears to be Arizona right fielder Justin Upton, a 23-year-old who is the brother of Tampa Bay center fielder B.J. Upton.

Since Upton is under contract until 2015, roughly half of the sport has an interest in obtaining his services. So besides the usual Yankee-Red Sox winter transaction rivalry, other teams in proxmity might emerge.

One team might be the Blue Jays, who were recently mentioned nationally. So if you believe they can get that done, they will have Upton playing next to Wells and speedster Rajai Davis in the outfield mix.

Another team mentioned has been the Mariners, who have a pretty good right fielder already in Ichiro. If the Mariners ever made that move, the outfield would consist of Upton, Ichiro and Franklin Gutierrez. Of course, the Mariners might have to move Upton to left field where has never played in the majors since it would be difficult to imagine a 23-year-old designated hitter.

Those are two of the scenarios but right now the asking price appears to be a little too high, though asking for a few major league ready types is not unreasonable, especially for someone under club control for the next five seasons.

A few months ago, anyone other than Upton and Ian Kennedy was viewed as untradable. Now it appears one of the best players under 25 is.

And from the Arizona standpoint, the role model of a deal has to be the 2007 Mark Teixeira deal to Atlanta, the one that landed the Rangers, Neftali Feliz and Elvis Andrus.

And while this post was being written, the Yankees made a smallish trade with Arizona. They sent Juan Miranda, best known for his bases-loaded walk against the Red Sox on Sept. 26 to the Diamondbacks for right-handed reliever Scott Allen.

Allen was born on July 3, 1991 - the same day that Scott Kamieniecki improved to 3-1 with a win over the Indians at Yankee Stadium.

Last year with the South Bend Silver Hawks, Allen was 4-4 with a 4.73 ERA in 16 starts. He was an 11th-round pick of the Diamondbacks in 2009 from Lyman High School in Florida, which also produced Chris Brock.

In case you're wondering about Allen, he struck out 79 and walked 22 in 78 innings. Other than that, not much else is known. Of couse if he does well in the minors, we'll find out soon enough.
