DENVER (AP) Shortstop Troy Tulowitzki returned to Coors Field saying he is ”in a good place” 11 months after being traded by the Colorado Rockies.
Tulowitzki was in Denver on Monday for a three-game series with the Toronto Blue Jays, the team that acquired him from the Rockies last July 27. He greeted his old Colorado teammates during batting practice and had a warm embrace with Rockies’ rookie shortstop Trevor Story, who has succeeded him in the field and with the fans.
Tulowitzki said he is not bitter despite being unhappy about how the trade transpired last summer.
Tulowitzki played 10 years with the Rockies and helped lead them to the 2007 World Series as a rookie. He hit .299 with 188 home runs in Colorado but his time with the organization was marked by injury. He spent significant time on the disabled list in 2012 and 2014.
The five-time All-Star entered Monday’s game hitting .219 with 11 home runs for Toronto.
