The Colorado Rockies will pay six dollars of the $105 million still owed to short stop Troy Tulowitzki.

The Colorado Rockies decided to shockingly part ways with shortstop Troy Tulowitzki, shipping him off to the Toronto Blue Jays in a trade. Sometimes it is customary for a team to eat a certain amount of a large contract in order to facilitate the move, and this deal was no different.

The Rockies will still pay some of the $105 million owed to Tulowitzki between now and 2020, a whole six dollars.

It is probably because Jose Reyes, who they got in return for Tulowitzki, is also making over $20 million a year.

But it makes you wonder why the Rockies decided to stay on the hook for six dollars? Was this a weird point of contention in getting a deal done?

More importantly, what will be done with that six dollars? Is it to cover the cost of the Uber to or from the airport?
