On that July day in 2015, Troy Tulowitzki (along with LaTroy Hawkins) was sent to the Jays for Jose Reyes, Miguel Castro, Jeff Hoffman, and Jesus Tinoco. It was definitely the biggest trade deadline move in all of baseball that year, and looked much in the Blue Jays’ favor. However, almost two years have now been removed from the Tulowitzki trade. The once prospects are now beginning to show life.
With the DFA of Castro over the weekend and Hoffman starting the season in Triple-A, it’s a good time to examine the trade.
