After playing in only 66 games over the past two seasons (none in 2018), Troy Tulowitzki got off to a flying start with the Yankees — even if it was only the first three Grapefruit League contests.
In those initial games, the now 34-year-old two-time Silver Slugger went 3-for-6 with two home runs and five RBIs. Unfortunately, Tulo immediately entered an extended slump that saw him get just one hit in his next 14 at-bats while striking out eight times.
Soon after Tulo was 5-for-27, and Internet-based Yankee managers were ready to ship the two-time Gold Glove-winner out of town.
