The Atlanta Braves are quietly putting together their best season in years, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they are closed for business this trade deadline.
According to a report by ESPN’s Buster Olney on Sunday, rival executives say the Braves are “very open” to trade offers for ace righty Julio Teheran.
Teheran, 26, has had a mediocre year with a 7-6 record, a 4.79 ERA, and 75 strikeouts in 18 starts. But he is under team control through 2020, so this could be a prime buy-low opportunity for any interested parties.
The Braves were singing quite a different tune at last year’s deadline. But with Teheran a year older and moderately struggling, he could be on the move, and we have an idea of what Atlanta might want in return.
