Rockies' All-Start Troy Tulowitzki reportedly traded to Toronto
TORONTO -- The Blue Jays acquired All-Star shortstop Troy Tulowitzki in a stunning trade with the Rockies early Tuesday morning that will see Jose Reyes and a package of prospects head to Colorado, sources have told MLB.com. The clubs have not confirmed the deal.
Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports was the first to break news of the trade, shortly after midnight ET. Thomas Harding of MLB.com confirmed that the Blue Jays also will receive reliever LaTroy Hawkins, while right-handers Jeff Hoffman and Miguel Castro are two of the prospects going to Colorado. At the time of the trade, Hoffman, the ninth overall pick in the 2014 Draft, was ranked by MLBPipeline.com as Toronto's No. 3 prospect and the No. 69 prospect in the game, while Castro was ranked No. 5 in Toronto's system.
SNIP
Toronto had been frequently mentioned in the rumor mill over the last couple of weeks, but the expectation was that the club would add starting pitching. The move to acquire Tulowitzki seemed to catch the league by surprise and marked a major shakeup less than four days before Friday's 4 p.m. ET non-waiver Trade Deadline.
Much like with Reyes, Tulowitzki's problem has been staying healthy. Tulowitzki, who was limited to 91 games in 2014 because of a hip issue, was sidelined for part of the 2013 season with a fractured rib, and he appeared in just 47 games in 2012 because of a groin injury.
