Jon Heyman thinks that Teheran is unlikely to be traded and that Freeman is back to untouchable status:

quote:

While many baseball people believe the Braves will trade Julio Teheran, it may not be at this juncture. With his long deal, they can wait. Once again, a Braves person said, flatly, "I don’t see the Braves trading Teheran." If they did entertain talks, they’d insist on a middle-of-the-order bat. While one rival GM says "he’s not the ace he was expected to be," he does have a 2.93 ERA … Do the Braves have an untouchable? Apparently they do. A Braves source insisted Freddie Freeman isn’t going anywhere. "Totally off limits," came the word.

Good to hear because Teheran's contract makes him very valuable (moreso than his performance alone) and we would be selling low on Freeman.
