It’s very clear that the Rockies won’t be keeping Tulowitzki for much longer but they need to decide if they’re going to lose him no or later. At the moment, things are just weird between the two sides as the Rockies misspelled their superstar’s name on his jersey night at Coor’s Field and Tulowitzki has responded by attending a Yankees game while on the DL.
As a result, Jeff Passan points out that this is the sort of thing that leads to a player being traded, as Tulowitzki’s message is loud and clear.
Rockies know Tulowitzki wants out. Club can't be happy he's on DL at another team's game. Sort of thing that will lead to an eventual trade.

Put it this way: Tulo showing up at a Yankees game the day after the Rockies gave out 15,000 shirts with his name misspelled is no accident.

He could also have just been enjoying a game in the Bronx, but the ulterior motive here is that Tulowitzki is not pleased about his current situation and his attending a Yankees game has far more meaning than anyone would care to admit.
