Troy Tulowitzki's Legacy with the Blue Jays

Though his time with the Toronto Blue Jays was brief, Troy Tulowitzki left an impression that resonates with the team's current shortstop, Bo Bichette. From 2015 to 2017, Tulowitzki showcased his talent, hitting .250 with 36 home runs and earning a reputation as a pivotal player in their 2015 AL East championship run.

Tylo's Advice to Bichette

In a recent appearance on the popular radio show Blair and Barker, Tulowitzki shared valuable insights for Bichette as he approaches free agency. He emphasized the importance of trusting one's instincts, warning that "the grass isn't always greener" on the other side. Tulowitzki noted, "If you're comfortable and appreciated in your role, and you receive a fair offer, why look elsewhere?" This advice certainly strikes a chord for fans who want to see Bichette remain a Blue Jay.

The Bo Bichette Phenomenon

Drafted by Toronto in 2016, Bo Bichette has blossomed into not just a hometown hero but one of baseball's premier shortstops. After struggling with injuries in 2024, he has made a triumphant comeback in 2025, leading the league with 184 hits and 44 doubles, while boasting an impressive .311 batting average.

Future Prospects for Bichette

The Blue Jays have already secured a massive contract extension for Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and are reportedly keen to extend a similar offer to Bichette, though formal negotiations are yet to begin. Tulowitzki suggests that Bichette should carefully consider any offers presented by the Blue Jays, acknowledging that he appreciates playing in Toronto.

Reflecting on a Short-Lived Career

Despite a rocky end to his time in Toronto due to injuries, culminating in a brief stint with the New York Yankees, Tulowitzki continues to speak fondly of the city and the franchise. His insights could very well guide Bichette as he navigates the waters of free agency—will he stay or go?
