Tulo for life. It has a nice ring to it after the Rockies pulled off a bold double play with their franchise shortstop and top free-agent pitcher Monday, November 29. Colorado has signed Troy Tulowitzki to a seven-year, $134 million extension that will carry him through the 2020 season, according to a source with direct knowledge of the negotiations.
Tulowitzki, 26, talked privately in October about wanting to remain a Rockie for the rest of his career. He witnessed how unsettling uncertainty can affect a team as he watched Matt Holliday and Brad Hawpe exit. Since his rookie year in 2007, Tulowitzki has emerged as a team leader. The Rockies have reached the playoffs in two of his first four full seasons. Tulowitzki is coming off his best year. Despite missing 33 games with a broken bone in his left wrist, the shortstop hit .315 with 27 home runs and 95 RBIs. He won his first Gold Glove and Silver Slugger awards.
