DUNEDIN, Fla. — The Yankees don’t visit Toronto until early June, so Troy Tulowitzki will have to wait a while before he returns to Rogers Centre, where he played for parts of the past four seasons before the Blue Jays released him in December with $38 million left on his contract.
But the 34-year-old got a small preview of what the reception might be like when he was booed during his first at-bat against his old team Thursday at Dunedin Stadium.
Tulowitzki whiffed to end the top of the first against Blue Jays starter Matt Shoemaker, much to the delight of the sun-drenched crowd.
