TORONTO (AP) – Troy Tulowitzki said he felt “blindsided” to learn he’d been traded to Toronto after 10 seasons with the Colorado Rockies.

“I’m still shocked,” Tulowitzki said Wednesday, a day after he was dealt to the Blue Jays. “When I walk into a clubhouse and it’s not purple, it’s different for me.”

Getting back on the field should calm things down a little for the five-time All-Star shortstop.

“To get one game under my belt, I keep telling people, is going to be huge,” he said.

Tulowitzki was to lead off against Philadelphia’s Jerome Williams in his Blue Jays debut Wednesday night. He was traded along with right-hander LaTroy Hawkins for former All-Star shortstop Jose Reyes and three pitching prospects.
