Is John Means a smart buy-low gamble or another Red Sox injury rehab project? His track record before the injuries suggests a solid mid-rotation arm, but two Tommy John surgeries are a major red flag. Are the Red Sox hoping for a late 2025 return and a full 2026 season, or are they simply bargain hunting again? Does this preclude them from pursuing other, healthier starters? Given their recent history with injury-prone pitchers, is this a sign of a team cutting corners or a shrewd move if he can regain his form? What kind of contract would make sense for both Means and the Red Sox? Is a two-year deal realistic, or should he take a one-year prove-it deal? Weigh in with your thoughts.
