Troy Tulowitzki is 34 years old and has played in only 66 games over the last two seasons, all of which came in 2017. The Blue Jays considered his outlook so bleak that they opted to choke down the entirety of his remaining two years and $38 million like the world’s most expensive crap sandwich. But as much as their you-know-what-eating grin should scare off most teams, the lure of a cheap contract is a come-hither stare for nearly a dozen clubs.
You see, the Jays absorbing the remaining money means a new team need only sign Tulo for the $555K league minimum.
