Information is breaking this morning on Julio Teheran and the Atlanta Braves reaching a deal that could lock up their young starting pitcher for a pretty good while.
The 23-year-old has reportedly signed a deal that could keep him in Atlanta for six years and a possible option in the seventh year.

#Braves Teheran is 2nd (after Freeman) of series of "core" players that Wren said team would like to sign long-term in next year or two.

Wren wouldn't how many #Braves that is, but safe to say Simmons is one of them. Again, wouldn't give a number or say when would do next.

#Braves Wren: "We think he has a chance to be a top part of the rotation guy for a long time."
