Blue Jays And Rockies Pull Off Blockbuster Trade

The Colorado Rockies and Toronto Blue Jays have swapped
star shortstops.

The teams confirmed the blockbuster trade Tuesday that sends Jose
Reyes and right-handed pitchers Miguel Castro, Jeff Hoffman and
Jesus Tinoco to the Rockies for Tulowitzki and right-handed
reliever LaTroy Hawkins.

Both shortstops have remarkably similar career statistics but also
a history of injuries.

Tulowitzki is a five-time All-Star and a career .299 hitter. He's
hitting .300 this season. At 32, the speedy Reyes is two years
older than Tulowitzki. He's a lifetime .291 hitter and is hitting
.285 this season.

Reyes is signed through 2017. Tulowitzki's contract runs through
2020. (Associated Press)
