Colorado Rockies shortstop Troy Tulowitzki said he is focused on his rehab and the upcoming MLB season, and isn’t concerned with trade rumors this winter.
Troy Tulowitzki is aware of rumors that the Colorado Rockies, for the first time, would be open to trading him. But when Tulowitzki’s agent was asked if the shortstop had any reaction to the rumors, his agent claimed Tulowitzki was totally immersed in his rehab.

“If something ever came up, his hope and expectation is that he would be able to sit down with the front office and ownership and have a conversation about it because of his history with them,” Tulowitzki’s agent, Paul Cohen, told Ken Rosenthal. “He loves playing there, loves the fan base, loves living there. If ultimately it’s best for the Rockies and they approach him (about a trade), he’ll deal with it accordingly. Right now just wants to focus on his rehab and get ready for a terrific season.”
Tulowitzki is signed for the next six years at approximately $190 million, assuming he is traded, and is considered an elite-level shortstop, when he’s healthy. Tulowitzki had season-ending surgery on his hip in August. Any deal for Tulowitzki would appear to be complicated by both his salary and his recent health, but there would certainly be teams interested in his services if the Rockies were open to a reasonable offer.
