(Reuters) - The Toronto Blue Jays swapped All-Star shortstops with the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday, acquiring Troy Tulowitzki while shipping Jose Reyes to Colorado in a blockbuster, multi-player trade.

Five-time All-Star Tulowitzki and veteran reliever LaTroy Hawkins went to the Blue Jays in exchange for Reyes and minor league pitchers Miguel Castro, Jeff Hoffman and Jesus Tinoco before Friday's non-waiver deadline.

Tulowitzki, 30, had spent all 10 of his Major League seasons with Colorado, earning Silver Slugger and Gold Glove awards in 2010 and 2011.
