It's not as significant as B.J. Upton changing his name to Melvin Upton Jr. in 2014, then saying this offseason he would revert back to B.J., but hey, it's still a change.
Britton, 31, re-signed a three-year, $39 million deal with a team option for a fourth year that also includes an opt-out clause after Year 2.
