Troy Tulowitzki Still Shocked By Trade To Toronto
TORONTO (AP) - Troy Tulowitzki was "blindsided" to learn he'd been traded to Toronto after 10 seasons with the Colorado Rockies, and said his life has felt "crazy" ever since.
Getting back on the field should calm things down a little for the five-time All-Star shortstop.
Tulowitzki will lead off against Philadelphia right-hander Jerome Williams in his Blue Jays debut Wednesday night. He was traded to Toronto on Tuesday, along with right-hander LaTroy Hawkins, in exchange for shortstop Jose Reyes and three pitching prospects.
"I'm still shocked," Tulowitzki said Wednesday at his introductory news conference. "When I walk into a clubhouse and it's not purple, it's different for me."
Toronto designated left-hander Felix Doubront for assignment to clear a roster spot for Tulowitzki. Doubront was 1-1 with a 4.76 ERA in five games.
