Not to mention Tulo called the Rockies a “country club” too, oof.

Tutoring would know. A country club is a place where half the people show up to watch other people play a game. He’s done that from the Rockies bench a large percentage of his career. Dude basically backs the Rockies into a corner with him or his agent leaking a trade demand…then gets livid when it happens. As if he’s not out taking care of himself.
Good luck playing him on that turf, Jays fans.

Tulo is a helluva player but he comes off as a whining brat.
Don’t worry about the Rockies only thing you should focus on is 2016. And besides, didn’t you REALLY want to be traded by Colorado in the first place?

I think his point more-so has to do with leaving him in the dark. He really did have a simple request: just keep me in the loop in terms of trading me.” He really wasn’t demanding anything unreasonable or excessive – just to let him know where he might be heading. And he had told this to the front office a few times. Instead, they left him out of it. I can see why he would be upset over it. Up until that point, thats where he played his entire career.
Sure – we can grow up, be a man, you’re getting paid millions, etc., but at the end of the day, it is a big transition. Espicially playing in an entirely different country.

It’s reasonable to believe Tulo or his reps would have leaked the info had they been aware of a Toronto deal to put the kibosh on it. He seems to have done everything possible to steer himself toward New York. He essentially hamstrung the Rockies trade leverage with his earlier public demands. Could he be trusted to be kept in the loop?

Would think he’d be happy being sent out of a rebuilding situation so he can have his prime years not wasted, Never seen so many unhappy millionaires playing a game for a living.

His prime years are behind him. He is still good and wouldnt surprise me if he has one more excellent season in him but those injuries add up.

Tulo’s talk about being so mistreated by the Rockies confuses me. The reports leading up to the trade seemed to indicate that his main priority was to play for a contender, and if that was somewhere else, so be it. Were these reports just speculation?

It seems like he just wanted to be kept in the loop, but not everyone wants to go to Toronto as well. Taxes are insane.

Chapman wins because the suspension doesn’t effect his service time and he can become a free agent after the season. That’s if you want to call someone a winner that looses 2m for actions like this….pretty lucky he didn’t catch shrapnel.

Tulo wants to be so much like Jeter…including staying with one team his entire career. He wanted what Helton has in Colorado. Except Helton is a stand up guy and Tulo is the guy no wants to be around.
