    It's officially time to put an end to Justin Upton trade talk. For now, at least.

    After several weeks of speculation and rumors surrounding the Arizona Diamondbacks' star right fielder, team president Derrick Hall said Tuesday that there's "close to a 100 percent chance nothing happens'' with Upton between now and the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline.

    "I would be completely shocked if anything were to happen in-season," Hall told ESPN.com. "You have a better chance of moving a star-caliber player like Justin in the offseason, when teams know exactly where they finished and where they're heading, and they can get more creative.

    "We'll field all proposals and conversations. You never know. But I would be surprised if anything happens in the offseason, either."
