Ex-Braves GM Wren says he regrets signing B.J. Upton


Fired in late September as general manager of the Braves, Frank Wren has had

over a month to reflect and think about what went wrong during his tenure.

Enough time, apparently, to realize the biggest mistake he made in Atlanta.

Wren, according to MLB Network Radio, would not sign B.J. Upton as a free agent

if he were to go back in time and do it over again. He told the station: 'It

just didn't work in Atlanta. It hasn't worked in Atlanta.'

Wren signed Upton to a five-year deal worth $75.25 million before the 2013

season. Upton left Tampa Bay to join his brother, Justin, in the Braves'

outfield.

The Braves did win the NL East his first year there, but in two seasons in

Atlanta Upton has hit just .198 with 324 strikeouts in 267 games. On a team

held back in 2014 by its offensive woes, Upton certainly stood out.

If the Upton deal continues to be a mistake, it will haunt the Braves for the

next three years, as Upton is signed through 2017. His salary escalates by $1

million each season, earning him $16.5 million in the final year of the deal.

Wren is gone, but Upton is likely not going anywhere any time soon.
