Teheran's Rollercoaster Week Ends in Free Agency
Julio Teheran has hit the free agent market once again! Following a brief stint with the New York Mets where he barely unpacked his bags, Teheran’s on the hunt for a new home. The right-handed pitcher's time in Queens was cut short when the Mets designated him for assignment, igniting a swirl of tweets from MLB insiders like Anthony DiComo.
"Veteran pitcher gets DFA'd after just one start - what's next for Teheran?"
The 33-year-old pitcher inked a major league deal on April 3, savoured the big-league air for just about a week, and despite a rough start in Atlanta on Monday, he’s cashing in on a cool $80K plus from his prorated $2.5 million salary.

- Financial Play: Julipockets over $80K for his week in the majors.
What’s In Store For Julio?
Now, as Teheran waves goodbye to the Metropolitans, he's setting sights on his next venture. Having bailed from a minor league deal with the Baltimore Orioles at the end of Spring Training, he’s no stranger to the game of musical chairs. Last season saw him log substantial innings with the Milwaukee Brewers, hinting that he still has gas left in the tank.
"33-year-old Teheran eyeing a new mound after sudden Mets exit."
It’s a return to the drawing board for Teheran, but there’s a silver lining. Teams are always on the prowl for that veteran presence and experience in the rotation, and Julio has plenty of that. With a resume boasting two All-Star appearances and a nine-year run with the Atlanta Braves, he's not too far from the radar.
