When the Toronto Blue Jays released Troy Tulowitzki with $38 million remaining on his contract, I wrote that the Cubs should look into signing him.
That was about three and a half weeks ago. Turns out the Cubs were doing just that, writes Andrew Martino of SNY:
The Cubs pursued Tulowitzki to be their starting shortstop, at a minimum for the duration of Addison Russell’s domestic violence suspension, according to sources. The Pirates, managed by Tulowitzki’s former Rockies skipper Clint Hurdle, wanted him to be their shortstop, per sources.
