Carlos Beltran isn't the only outfielder on the trading block.

According to Joel Sherman of the New York Post, the Rays are quietly taking calls for outfielder B.J. Upton, and, according to an AL official, "they are denying publicly they will trade him, but they are definitely shopping him. They are asking for a ton."

Upton is batting .229 with 15 homers and 53 RBIs in 96 contests this year.
