Teheran stands as Coppolella's most attractive trade piece and arguably the best starting pitcher available before this year's Deadline. The 25-year-old right-hander, who is owed slightly more than an average of $9 million through the 2020 season, could net the big bat Atlanta needs. But the Braves are not in a position where they must immediately move Teheran, and they likely won't unless they get something similar to the package (Dansby Swanson, Ender Inciarte and Aaron Blair) they received for Shelby Miller in December.
While Teheran will steal the headlines, the Braves may also have a chance to garner some value for Jeff Francoeur, veteran reliever Jim Johnson or closer Arodys Vizcaino.
