The Baltimore Orioles are taking a flier on a former Atlanta Braves ace.
The Orioles are signing ex-Braves pitcher Julio Teheran to a minor league deal, based on the New York Publish’s Jon Heyman.
Teheran signed with the Braves as a world free agent in 2007. The brand new Orioles addition appeared poised for pitching stardom early on in his profession.
The Colombian right-hander completed fifth within the 2013 NL Rookie of the 12 months voting after posting a 3.20 ERA with 170 strikeouts throughout 30 begins in his first full marketing campaign with the Braves. He adopted that up by decreasing his ERA to 2.89 with 186 strikeouts throughout 33 begins in an All-Star 2014 marketing campaign.
Teheran earned his second All-Star nod in 2016 at simply 25 years outdated. However Teheran regressed right into a middle-of-the-rotation starter since that season with an ERA hovering round 4.00 from 2017 to 2019.
Teheran had uneventful stints with the Los Angeles Angeles and Detroit Tigers earlier than making his manner into the Milwaukee Brewers’ rotation final season. Teheran went 3-5 and had an ERA of 4.40 with the Brewers, however performed in simply 14 video games (11 begins) as a result of a lingering proper hip damage.
The Orioles have made pitching a precedence this offseason. They already traded for former Cy Younger winner Corbin Burnes and have since been linked to a different high pitcher to bolster their rotation.
