News broke about Troy Tulowitzki coming to the Bronx yesterday evening. Rumblings started around 6 and then things picked up. We'll give Passan a plug right here:
Free agent shortstop Troy Tulowitzki is in agreement on a deal with the New York Yankees pending a physical, league sources tell ESPN. Tulowitzki is expected to join the Yankees on a league-minimum deal, with the Toronto Blue Jays paying the remainder of his $20 million salary.— Jeff Passan (@JeffPassan) January 2, 2019
But if you know anything about BYB and sources when it comes to Tulowitzki, it was my 16 year old that said this was going to be reality before anyone. Why? Because it made sense. We wrote this in a piece called YOU GOT ALL WORKED UP FOR NOTHING from December 14th...
"But will the Yankees get Tulowitzki? Makes better sense believe it or not. That's usually how the Yankees operate. Plus, with Didi coming back, it makes better financial sense."
Are we out of the Manny Machado sweepstakes? I doubt it. With Tulo's injury track record it wouldn't make sense to walk away from Manny. Plus, Manny can play alittle third if we needed him too. And trust me, with an opportunity to come to the Bronx... Manny will make that concession. After all... his hero, Alex Rodriguez did the same thing.
Welcome to the Bronx Tulo. Hope that physical's clean.
