Last season, the Cleveland Guardians pulled off one of the more shrewd signings in baseball when they signed Matthew Boyd as a free agent while he was in the midst of rehabbing from Tommy John surgery.
While the Guardians had to wait a month and a half to see the fruits of their signing of Boyd, the veteran hurler made the wait worth it, as he posted a sparkling 2.72 ERA in 39 2/3 innings before giving up just one run in 11 2/3 postseason innings.
And, if everything continues to go to plan, it looks like the Guardians could get that shot in the arm this year from John Means.
