Jays release Tulo

Hah... he was trying to sell himself to Oakland. He likely signs with the Cubs.

Why would the Cubs want him? They have Baez who's a much better defender and they tendered Addison Russell a contract, who is also better than current Tulo.

He's rumoured the front runner for them, bro. Don't shoot the messenger... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It will be interesting to see if Tulo signs with a contender - or with someone who's going to give him a lot of playing time...

 

You'd think a contender would make sense. He's already got the cash, he becomes a utility player on a winning team. Plays a couple times a week so he can stay fresh (as fresh as he can be).

Sign Tulo, trade Russel?

No sign Tulo, let him play as Russell is suspended, go from there.

Sign Tulo, trade Russel?

 

Yeah we could use the middle infield depth and Russell isn’t going to play much with Jansen as the main catcher.......wait

[Spanky99]

Descalso signed with the Cubs, there goes that option for Tulo.

Lots of interest in Tulo's showcase the other day, but that's to be expected at the low risk in salary...

 

From MLBTR-

 

Robert Murray of The Athletic writes that the Brewers sent three representatives to watch Troy Tulowitzki’s audition for MLB clubs yesterday (subscription required). Murray spoke to multiple scouts in attendance who had positive things to say about how Tulo looked on that given day, though obviously the primary question isn’t whether the 34-year-old is healthy right now, but whether he’ll be able to hold up over the course of a full season. The Brewers could utilize Tulowitzki at either third base or second base, with Travis Shaw manning the other spot. Given Shaw’s experience (and proficiency) at the hot corner, second base would be Tulowitzki’s likeliest position in Milwaukee. There were at least 11 other clubs on hand at yesterday’s showcase, however, so Milwaukee is but one of many possible landing spots for the former Rockies star. Any team that signs Tulowitzki would only owe him the league minimum of $555K in 2019.
