White Sox take in Tulo workout

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.

He was traded though from the Rockies. Unless I'm misinterpreting that comment.

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".

Don't forget about insurance. Most likely they paid no more than 50% with insurance covering the rest.

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?

Nah. 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... 🤔🤔🤔

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.

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?
