The two were close, often working out at the same gym in northern California. The funeral arrangements have not been made, but Tulowitzki will be leaving to attend the services.
"Things went south in a hurry. It's crazy," Tulowitzki said Wednesday. "He was suffering at the end with a tumor. It's really tough."
Tulowitzki lost his grandmother to cancer several years ago. Winters leaves behind a wife and two sons, whom Tulowitzki plans to help as much as he can.
"Lexy motivated me all winter. I would tell him I was doing double workouts, one for me and one for him," Tulo- witzki said. "You think sometimes that you don't have time to cram everything in, and what if you only had a few months to live? It puts things in perspective
