Harry Chappas Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 I can see the cubs taking a flyer on him as they need a guy until Russell is back and they can cut him if it's not working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should be fine with Baez at SS and Zobrist/Happ at 2. Bote could probably play SS for a game or two if needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 (edited) Toronto still owes him about $40 million. How done must he be if they don't even want to see if he can recoup some of that? They paid him $20 million not to play in 2018, $20 million in 2019, $14 million in 2020, and 2015 has a $4 million buyout. That is $58 million for no games.

ChiSox59 Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Is he even able to play baseball any longer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldsox Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 When he came up with Rockies, I thought he had HOF written all over him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 The Blue Jays will wind up paying him about $105 million for about a 3.0 WAR. Not even 1,000 plate appearances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but Jays have wanted to move them for a while, cutting him is a "we cannot trade him without sending out more value (cash/prospects) than is worth it to us".

ChiSox59 Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 I'd give him a minor league deal...why the heck not? Maybe he gets healthy and returns to a decent ball player. Most likely he's toast, but for the league minimum, why not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ducksnort Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 What a shame. Tulo was such a good player. I honestly forgot he was in the league Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrathofhahn Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 I think he had a no movement clause which is why he was straight released. I find it hard to believe someone wouldn't have traded for him otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSox59 Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Kind of hope the Sox explore Tulo at 3B. Who knows I’d hes healthy, but for $550k, why not? Sounds like he wants to go to the west coast, but he’s have a nice opportunity with the Sox to regain some value. Even if the Sox get MM, you either release Tulo or use him as a bench piece until he is needed to fill in the infield. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dude is always hurt and someone will probably give him way more than he is worth. Now if he is secretely bff's with Machado and Harper, thats another story... ???

I don't think Rick wants a stop gap like that. I think he would just rather roll out Yolmer there if it came down to it. At least he has a future bench role player in our contention period.

For starters, he recently came out and said that he would rather retire than to play a position other than SS, which eventually led to his release (Toronto has Guriel and Bichette ready to fill in at SS). Several other teams are going to give him a shot at SS, Cubs included. So you will not see Tulo playing 3B for the Sox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that was the case, why wouldn't the Blue Jays have simply told him that he can't play SS, and let him retire? Wouldn't that have saved them the $38 Million?
