Julio Teheran Signs With Atlantic League’s Staten Island FerryHawks

By Darragh McDonald | April 21, 2022 at 6:41pm CDT

Right-handed pitcher Julio Teheran has signed with the Staten Island FerryHawks of the Atlantic League, according to an announcement from the team.

Teheran, 31, made his MLB debut with the Braves back in 2011, at the age of 20. He would spend close to a decade in Atlanta, pitching with the club until 2019, having his best years from 2013 to 2019. In that seven-year stretch, he threw 1334 innings with a 3.64 ERA, 21.1% strikeout rate and 8.1% walk rate. In the estimation of FanGraphs, he was worth 13.8 wins above replacement during that run.

After reaching free agency for the first time, Teheran signed a one-year, $9MM deal with the Angels. Unfortunately, the pandemic shortened that season to 60 games and Teheran actually caught the virus in July, missing part of the season. Once he was able to get back on the hill, he struggled to get into a groove and put up an ERA of 10.05 in 31 1/3 innings. Based on that awful campaign, he had to settle for a non-guaranteed deal with the Tigers for 2021. He eventually had his contract selected, earning a $3MM salary for the year. However, after one five-inning start, he was placed on the injured list with a shoulder strain and never returned.

Back in March, free agents Anibal Sanchez, Erasmo Ramirez and Teheran held a showcase for scouts in Miami. Sanchez and Ramirez both ended up signing minor league deals with the Nationals and eventually made it back to the big leagues. But a deal for Teheran apparently never materialized from an MLB club, at least not one that he liked enough to sign. Now he will head to the expansion Staten Island FerryHawks for their inaugural season in the Atlantic League.

      LOL? During those seasons (2014-2019) he threw 1148 innings of 3.78 ERA ball, and some of those teams were brutally bad. It’s not that crazy.

        @You can put it in the books

        Remind us all when you played MLB, yet you want to assert that “this dude was straight dumpster water”. Your comment is absolutely ridiculous,

        Teheran is better than most pitchers, he also has a career 3.80 ERA, and he also has a .500 record which is better than most. If a pitcher like Teheran as a 4th or 5th starter wins half his starts, then he’s keeping his team in the race if the 1,2,3 starters are winning more than they lose. Anyway I wouldn’t expect you to understand this as I doubt you’ve ever played the game at any level to show the disrespect you have to Teheran.

      Dumb comment. Do your homework. Teheran was a (well) above average pitcher for nearly his entire tenure in Atlanta.

      I drove from NYC to Philly to watch his first start MLB debut back in the day, buying some seats from Philly season ticket holders and had a great time talking baseball with ’em. Still respect the Philly fans from it.

      Might have been different if I were Santa.

    He had his moments but he was never as good as Braves fans kept wanting to believe he was. It was such a huge relief when the Braves finally let him go in my eyes.

    The Teheran/Faulty/Newcomb era is finally over.

    Good for Julio, and I’m also glad to see that the Atlantic League has expanded…. but does anyone know what gives with having 2 teams based in Lexington, Kentucky?

      One team (Genomes) is only a temporary filler team from the same owners as the Legends that is keeping the league at an even number of teams. Once Hagerstown comes next year to the league the Genomes will be dissolved

    He can take that ferry free to Manhattan and back, but he’ll need a minimum of a Metro card to get to Yankee Stadium. Tell him to pick up the 1 train at South Ferry and switch to the D train at Columbus Circle from the all the way up to 161 St in da Bronx to meet with Brian Cashman. If he’s got anything left in the tank, take a shot.

        But his team, the fans, and the sport is suffering still. Bauer is good for baseball, I love watching him pitch, he’s great to watch. Love him or hate him, he brings viewers in. And what he does/says gains alot of attention, good or bad.

      Absolutely ridiculous how these women can ruin a man’s reputation with one allegation. Men need to start waking up bc this is happening far more than most realize. More so than ever men and women need to be very careful who they allow into their bed especially if you are a target like a rich celebrity.

        I know famous/rich types are targets for what amounts to extortion sometimes.

        Problem with Bauer. No players speak up for him that I am aware of. He has not been, for Bauer, vocal about his situation, that I am aware of. National sports media basically ignores him, and has save for rudimentary updates to the situation. This whole process has gone on for quite some time now. Bauer is guilty as sin. Sorry. He is waiting out the clock, hoping to get reinstated.

        No one seems to be interested in him. Something about this does not sit with “he’s innocent”. No one just hangs out for a couple of years being accused of very unsavory stuff, with that kind of money on the line, in addition to player legacy.

        Just sayin’. But what do I know, I’m just a caveman. I don’t understand your strange machines.

        It’s the Homeruns which were the issue when he was a Brave. His Fastball can be flat and hit real hard at times.

    How does he not get a chance but Harvey does? And plenty other terrible mlb pitchers. Yes, he may have received an offer and declined it but I would gamble on a low million try, especially teams like the orioles or pirates. Maybe catch something worth trading at the deadline for a chance prospect. Definitely think he is worth a shot over many other current rostered pitchers. Maybe even bullpen type.

      We don’t know the full story, it’s near a no risk move to hand out a minor league deal, might be something he turned down or maybe something in his medicals.
