Troy Tulowitzki has insisted that he won't request a trade from the Colorado Rockies, but that doesn't necessarily mean the shortstop wouldn't welcome a change of address.

Tulowitzki does "burn to win," according to someone who knows him well. The belief is also that he'd like to play in a big market, but Jon Heyman writes that "Everyone who knows him says similar things. But they also seem to think he cares a little too much about how it all looks."

The reality may be that Tulowitzki wants the Rockies to trade him, but he doesn't want to be the one who forces a move.
