For the first time in his professional career, Troy Tulowitzki is without a job. In a somewhat unexpected move, the Toronto Blue Jays released him during the Winter Meetings last week after he missed all of 2018 with a heel injury. While he’s always had an injury problem, this may be the most detrimental to his career. His ceiling is not as high now and his floor is much lower. The trade off is the risk of employing him is significantly lower now, too.
Since his contract with Toronto was guaranteed (like all non-arbitration major league deals), Tulo’s first dip into free agency will be interesting to say the least.
