Jays release Tulowitzki, making him free agent
The Toronto Blue Jays have released shortstop Troy Tulowitzki, making him a free agent, it was announced Tuesday.
Tulowitzki, 34, had two years and $38 million remaining on his contract but has been plagued by injuries in recent seasons.
The MLB winter meetings are going strong in Las Vegas and rumors are swirling across baseball. Here is what we’re hearing today.
The five-time All-Star selection and two-time Gold Glove Award winner had surgery to remove bone spurs from both heels in early April and was ruled out for the season in late August.
He hasn’t played in the majors since July 28, 2017, when he suffered ligament damage that required surgery after he stepped on another player’s foot while running the bases.
Tulowitzki, who expects to be healthy in time for spring training, has missed at least 30 games in seven straight seasons and eight of the past nine.
For his career, he has a .290 average, 224 home runs and 779 RBIs.
