The Baltimore Orioles and former Atlanta Braves All-Star Julio Teheran have reached an agreement as the team searches for pitching staff depth. He was a part of the Milwaukee Brewers organization in 2023.
The Baltimore Orioles have signed former All-Star Julio Teheran to a minor league contract in an effort to bolster their pitching staff.
According to the New York Post’s Jon Heyman:
With the Braves, Los Angeles Angels, Detroit Tigers, and Milwaukee Brewers, Teheran has pitched in portions of twelve major league seasons. In 2021–2022, he played in just one game. The next year, in 2023, he returned to Milwaukee and made 11 starts.
He is 33 years old and had a 4.40 ERA in the previous season, going 3-5. He’s 81-82 lifetime with a 3.83. Teheran has five different seasons with ten or more wins, and he was selected to the Braves All-Star team in both 2014 and 2016.
The Orioles signed him mostly due to concerns about the health of their pitching staff. Kyle Bradish and John Means are expected to be out of commission for the first several games of the Baltimore season. An injured staff would be disastrous for an O’s team that finished the previous season with 101 wins and hopes to get to the World Series. After signing an offseason agreement with the Brewers to get Corbin, they are now adding Teheran, who may end up as a bullpen piece or as a contender for a starting position.
Following the injury, the O’s currently project Burnes, Grayson Rodriguez, and Dean Kremer as rotation locks.
The Texas Rangers defeated Baltimore in the ALDS despite the fact that Baltimore had the most wins in the American League the previous season.
