Though Rockies shortstop Troy Tulowitzki seems to want out of Colorado after causing a stir by showing up at a Yankees' game over the weekend, the chances of a deal getting done before Thursday's trade deadline appear very slim. A league source with knowledge of the situation "very, very, very highly doubts" that Tulowitzki will be traded this week, saying that it would take "the offer of the century" to get a deal done.
MLB trade rumors: Rockies won’t trade Troy Tulowitzki without receiving ‘offer of the century’
Chances of a trade involving the shortstop are slim at this point.
Elsa
Tulowitzki is having a career year, hitting .340/.432/.603 with 21 home runs and 52 RBI in 91 games for Colorado. He has been linked to the Cardinals, Yankees and Mets in trade rumors in recent weeks, but the Rockies have publicly stated that they are not willing to deal him and view him as a long-term cornerstone in Colorado.
MLB Trade Rumor
Tulowitzki is owed roughly $124 million through 2020 with a $15 million team option for 2021. He is likely to be of interest to any team looking for a long-term answer at shortstop, but it appears that he will probably have to wait until the winter for a chance of being dealt by the Rockies.
