Julio Teheran.
Julio Teheran has elected free agency after clearing waivers, tweets Anthony DiComo of MLB.com. The Mets had designated him for assignment on Tuesday.
Teheran’s stint as a Met couldn’t have been much shorter. The veteran righty agreed to terms on a major league deal on April 3, a move that was announced by the team two days later. Skipper Carlos Mendoza tabbed him for a start in Atlanta on Monday. Teheran allowed four runs without making it out of the third inning and was DFA one day later.
While it wasn’t the most productive tenure, Teheran banked a major league salary for around a week. His contract called for a prorated $2.5M salary for time spent in the majors, so he collected upwards of $80K. That’s a decent outcome for a player who had opted out of a minor league pact with the Orioles at the end of spring training.
The 33-year-old now sets out in search of his third organization of the 2024 campaign. He may need to settle for a minor league contract this time around, but he should find interest from teams looking for experienced rotation depth.
Teheran started 11 of 14 appearances with the Brewers last season, allowing 4.40 earned runs per nine innings.
That was Teheran’s heaviest workload at the major league level since 2019. A two-time All-Star during his nine-year tenure with the Braves, he has pitched for four clubs since the start of the ’20 campaign.
Over the last four-plus seasons, Teheran owns a 6.10 ERA with a well below-average 16.1% strikeout rate against a solid 7.2% walk percentage.
