Despite trade interest around the league, the Twins are expected to keep All-Star starter Joe Ryan, who’s posting his best season yet.

If the Red Sox aren't able to get Twins ace Joe Ryan, there are a handful of other options for them out there ahead of the trade deadline.

Right-handed starting pitcher Joe Ryan is in his fifth season with the Minnesota Twins after being selected in the seventh round of the 2018 MLB Draft by the Tampa Bay Rays. Ryan was acquired by Minnesota in July 2021 as part of the Nelson Cruz trade and made his MLB debut that September.

The Boston Red Sox want Joe Ryan, and the door may be open for a trade given the Minnesota Twins' current ownership problems.

Just because there is interest doesn’t mean the Minnesota Twins should meet the demand. Ryan is under team control through 2027, and while it’s possible he could get expensive in arbitration, his 2025 salary is just $3 million. If the Twins want to reload next year, then keeping a top arm to pair with Lopez makes a ton of sense.

The Boston Red Sox get bad news from the Minnesota Twins, as despite listening to offers, they aren't expected to trade Joe Ryan at the trade deadline.

First-time All-Star Joe Ryan, who has been told he will “most likely pitch an inning” Tuesday night, is soaking up knowledge from his fellow standouts in Atlanta.

The MLB trade deadline is less than two weeks out. It sounds like the Minnesota Twins will have lots of relievers for sale... but what about starter, Joe Ryan?

The Colorado Rockies (23-74) and Minnesota Twins (47-50) will clash on Sunday at Coors Field, starting at 3:10 p.m. ET. The Rockies are an underdog at home (+163) versus the Twins (-198). The Twins will give the ball to Joe Ryan (9-4) against the Rockies and German Marquez (3-10).
