Julio Teheran Signs With Mexican League’s Toros De Tijuana

By Sean Bavazzano | June 8, 2022 at 7:58pm CDT

Right-handed pitcher Julio Teheran is set to sign with the Toros De Tijuana of the Mexican League reports the New York Post’s Jon Heyman. It’s the second contract of the 2022 season for the former Brave, who signed a contract with the Atlantic League’s Staten Island FerryHawks back in April.

Long one of baseball’s most consistent starters in Atlanta, Teheran last appeared in the majors in April 2021 with the Tigers. A shoulder injury limited his stint in Detroit to just one start, and no doubt influenced his lack of 2022 opportunities with major league clubs.

Based on his strong play in the Atlantic League this year, however, Teheran may yet find a summer suitor with a big league club if he continues to excel in the Mexican League.Through six starts and 33-plus innings with the FerryHawks, the two-time All-Star is sporting a 1.60 ERA with 35 strikeouts and only six walks.

While the quality of independent league hitters is not to be confused with major league caliber bats, it’s nonetheless noteworthy that Teheran’s strikeout-walk ratio is as good as it’s ever been, topping even the minor league numbers that made him a consensus top prospect a decade ago. A return to health is an equally important development, as even the post-peak, innings-eater version of Teheran was coveted enough to net him a $3MM contract last year.

  1. Your team should trade for Duvall. Apparently, he is a good hitter.

    A few years ago, I wanted Teheran, Newcomb, and Faulty out. Check!

    Now it is Duvall, Ozuna, and Albies – the latter I’ll deal with for another year or two I guess

      I hope you’re not serious with Albies… The other two, I understand over the next couple of years, but Albies only improves year over year!

        In what world has Albies improved? His strength is speed (yet somehow stinks at stealing bases) and defense. He is a bad hitter with terrible discipline. Hopefully, he quits switch-hitting and stays hitting righty.

        I’ve seen a lot of Braves fans hating on Albies lately. He has never posted a full season with below league average offense and this year seems to be down but their is enough time to bounce back and he is still “only” roughly 15% below league average while playing great defense and having speed on the bases (extra base and base running speed). No one really steals anymore cause it is not as valuable as the risk of being thrown out unless you are an elite runner. I’d kill to have Albies on my team. Not elite but a great player and starter on most contenders.

          Also the ridiculously well-below-value contract. I don’t get the hate either. Plays solid defense, runs the bases well, has good pop. He leaves a lot to be desired with his plate discipline and onbase skills, but so what?

          Not every player is a 5-tool phenom. Ozzie does a lot of things well and some things poorly. It’s balances out to a well-above average regular with flaws, or what most teams want…a solid contributor.

          I bet there are many middle infielders making significantly more than Ozzie that are delivering worse results, and those fans aren’t complaining.

        The worry with Albies is he doesn’t hit that well left handed and he swings ( big upper cut ) for the fences all the time. I think Swanson is figuring it out on making contact more I hope Ozzie does too.

      You also wanted MadBum on the team. You also said Freeman will never win a WS with the Braves.

      Players inevitably leave teams, it’s not like you predicted it you dope.

      You’re the Metsfan22 of the Braves. It’s embarrassing.

        If only they had MadBum on the 2020 squad – they would have beat the Dodgers then too.

        At least the Braves finally beat the guy after a decade.

          Ahh yes. 2020 MadBum sporting the 6.5 era.

          The people that actually have to interact with you on a day to day basis should receive hazard pay.

          Sounds like you are nitpicking to fit your argument regardless what his ERA was in a 60 game season. Bum might have been the difference in them not blowing a 3-1 lead. Regardless, move on. He might have been a bad signing long-term but for 2020, who knows.

      Isn’t that insane. He was such a workhorse.

      It’s crazy he’s only pitched like 100 innings less than Strasburg and is two years younger.

    Can players in the Mexican League be easily acquired by MLB teams? I am pretty sure that Independent League teams have an arrangement where MLB teams can scoop guys up.

          More money in the Mexican league, not MLB standards sure, but better then the Atlantic league. In Mexico you can make low 6 figures in the Atlantic league no one is making that kind of $$$
          More talent in the Mexican league, that league has more ex mlb players in it then the Atlantic league, so pitching well there will get him noticed faster and possibly signed sooner. One thing to pitch well against has beens then nobodies.
          Hell even cost of living is cheaper in Mexico then in New York City, the Ferry Hawks play in the old Staten Island Yankees stadium, Still part of NYC, still expensive.

    He should be in Japan or Korea.

    I always thought the guy had some talent and he was a rock for those Atlanta teams at times. I think this is a classic case of a guy who needs a reset. Just don’t think The Mexican League is it. Hope he does well and heads to the Far East.

    I’d have to wonder if he’s turned down the Asian leagues thus far. He’d have been on their radar. Anything close to what he’s shown so far, and we’ll see him again later in the season. Pitching is thin enough.

    Look up the rosters for the LMB and it’s fascinating to see how many for major leaguers are playing there. Fernando Rodney and Jorge Cantu immediately jumped out at me as “those guys are still around?”

    I saw Fernando V. pitch in Mazatlán about 23 years ago. He autographed the bill if my Padres cap. I think he was pitching for the team from Hermosillo. He lasted about 4 innings before they relieved him. There have been a lot of ex big leaguers play in Mexico but I think he was the biggest name ever.
