I wouldn't do it..
I think Fister is better then Morrow,and Upton is heads & shoulders better then any of the hitters you'd be getting.Freemans' power outburst last year was a complete surprise to all of the experts;He's more of a line drive type hitter.I wouldn't expect that kind of power from him year in & year out.
And depending on the size of your league & the number of keepers you keep 1st round draft picks may be totally over rated.The more keepers your league keeps,the worst the players will be in the 1st round.They will not be true 1st round players,but Justin Upton IS a true 1st round player.

That's a tough call, I love Upton but i traded him early last season before he broke out for some pitching talent. Your outfield is great with him, and would be efficient without him with guys like Dexter Fowler and Corey Hart (potentially) coming in. Given Hart stays healthy he can be a top 25 OF in the league with his power.
You're getting Brandon Morrow, a dark horse for 15+ wins and almost assuredly a lock for 200+ Ks again this year with the better bullpen and sort of ridiculous on paper offense of the Blue Jays. You also get a 1st round pick for next year. I would take the trade then maybe flip Fowler or Hart for a better infielder. Yeah they're all young with upside but Moustakas' home field isn't very batter-friendly and Kendrys Morales will not get a lot of time at all in LA with Trumbo and Pujols sitting over at 1B.
Yeah. I quite like it. Take Corey Hart over Trumbo and Gabby, and use the first rounder on an infielder.
