Royals Sign John Means to Two-Year Minor League Deal After Achilles Tear

Royals agreed to a two-year minor league deal with lefty Means, the club announced. He tore his Achilles in December and likely misses 2026. The 2019 All-Star last pitched in MLB for Baltimore in 2024. Injuries and Tommy John surgeries limited him to 10 big-league outings since 2022. Cleveland signed him for $1M, then declined a $6M option.
