He's always struck me as a pretty competitive guy but that's about all I've gathered.

Never followed his career, so I don't know. He's not going to be happy to a be bench player though as he's started his whole career and is a having a bit of a comeback season. I'm less worried about Upton though, than I am the effect him shaking things up will have on the existing Jays.
Maybe I should be more worried about Upton though. Here's what Evan Longoria had to say about him
"They were really the only ones that were left in here that were here before the Rays were in 2008 when we started to be the team that we are now. I think some of those things kind of stuck around, and as much as you try to instill the new way, some of those things, it was tough to get some of those thoughts out of their head. And so, I think, obviously they were great players, but as far as an overarching belief in what we try to do here, I think with the new people that we have now, it’s a completely new belief in what we’re trying to do here."
