Former All-Star John Means Ruptures Achilles Before Free Agency Deal

Means said he tore his Achilles while training days before expecting to sign. “Surgery went well, but timing hurts,” he wrote on Instagram. The former Orioles All-Star battled Tommy John surgery and multiple setbacks, last pitching for Cleveland in 2025. After a 2.50 ERA All-Star season in 2019 and a 2021 no-hitter, another rehab now stalls his comeback hopes.
