Troy Tulowitzki will meet with agent to talk about requesting trade
Troy Tulowitzki and his agent will meet this week to discuss whether they will approach the Colorado Rockies about requesting a trade.
The New York Post’s Joel Sherman talked with Tulo’s agent Paul Cohen who said it would be “silly” for them not to discuss the possibility of asking for a trade. It was a topic they discussed multiple times over the offseason.
Tulo’s decision to remain with the Rockies looked prudent when they started the season 7-2 and 11-8, but reality has set in now that the team is on a 9-game losing streak and 11-17. Tulowitzki is said to be frustrated with the team’s start.
Multiple teams could be interested in trading for Tulo, who is owed $94 million through 2020 and has a $15 million club option for 2021 that includes a $4 million buyout.
The Yankees have always been named as a likely future home for Tulo and appear to be his dream team, but the Post says they are unlikely to have interest.
Tulowitzki is batting .307 with a .495 slugging percentage this season. He has an .889 career OPS. A report over the offseason said the Rockies would be willing to trade Tulo and Carlos Gonzalez. We’ll see if they finally agree to do so.
