Red Sox Linked to 2.76 ERA Twins Ace as Potential Trade Candidate - Athlon Sports

As the 2025 MLB trade deadline approaches, the Boston Red Sox are keenly focused on enhancing their starting rotation. Notably, they are monitoring Minnesota Twins ace Joe Ryan, who is enjoying a stellar season with a 2.76 ERA and a league-leading 0.891 WHIP. Ryan's impressive performance has made him a lucrative trade target, especially since he is under team control until 2027. The Red Sox, if they choose to buy, could pair him with Garret Crochet to solidify their rotation for the coming years.

However, acquiring Ryan won't be straightforward. The Twins must find themselves out of postseason contention, and any trade offer would need to significantly impress them, likely involving promising players like Jarren Duran. The Red Sox's strategy reflects a shift from a previous selling mindset to one focused on acquiring impactful players for sustained success.

What trades should the Red Sox consider to improve their rotation?How important is starting pitching during the postseason?What are the long-term implications of trading for a pitcher like Joe Ryan?What strategies can the Red Sox employ at the trade deadline?

Yankees urged to acquire sub-three ERA starter to replace Clarke Schmidt | Sporting News

The New York Yankees face a significant challenge as Clarke Schmidt is set to undergo Tommy John surgery, sidelining him for the entirety of the 2025 and part of the 2026 MLB seasons. This injury has prompted analysts to suggest that the Yankees should target Joe Ryan from the Minnesota Twins. Ryan has showcased stellar performance with an 8-4 record and a 2.76 ERA this season, making him one of the most sought-after pitchers ahead of the trade deadline.

Given Ryan's impressive stats and team control until 2028, the Yankees would likely need to offer a substantial trade package, possibly including top prospects like Jones. With their current rotation in need of reinforcement, acquiring Ryan could provide New York with a pivotal playoff starter as they strive for postseason success.

Neal: Twins’ Joe Ryan isn’t an All-Star, even if he deserves to be

Neal: Twins’ Joe Ryan isn’t an All-Star, even if he deserves to be

Joe Ryan of the Minnesota Twins showcased his innovation on the mound, even without making the All-Star roster this year. In a recent game against the Tampa Bay Rays, Ryan struck out the side in the first inning using a surprising new splitter that caught his own manager off guard. Despite facing challenges, including a home run by Taylor Walls and a pitch clock violation, Ryan maintained a solid performance, finishing with two runs allowed and eight strikeouts over six innings. His current ERA of 2.76 ranks him among the top pitchers in the American League, but the Twins' overall struggles this season make it tough to justify multiple All-Star selections.

Ryan expressed disappointment at not being chosen for the All-Star game, even as he acknowledged the metrics supporting his case. His teammate, Byron Buxton, has been selected, and fellow pitcher Jhoan Duran also deserves recognition for his stellar season. The Twins, currently struggling with a 43-47 record, face a critical period leading to the trade deadline, where their playoff aspirations will be determined. Furthermore, Ryan's ability to adapt and innovate on the mound exemplifies his skill set and potential for future accolades.

What adjustments can the Twins make to improve their performance?How can individual player performances impact team dynamics?What trends are we seeing in the league regarding pitching innovation?What can we expect from the Twins in the upcoming series?

Byron Buxton selected to All-Star Game

Byron Buxton's selection to the American League All-Star team is particularly special as it coincides with the event's location in Atlanta, just three hours from his hometown of Baxley, Georgia. Buxton, the lone representative for the Minnesota Twins, has enjoyed a stellar season, hitting .270 with 20 home runs and 56 RBIs. His performance has solidified his status as one of the best players in the league, especially after overcoming injuries that hampered his previous seasons.

Buxton reflects on the personal significance of representing the Twins in front of family this time, emphasizing the importance of his health and consistent performance. Manager Rocco Baldelli praises Buxton's resurgence, noting that the team could see additional All-Star representatives soon, particularly highlighting the talents of Joe Ryan and Jhoan Duran. Despite being the solo All-Star, Buxton is eager to relish this unique opportunity in his hometown.

Twins come back twice but fall to Rays in series finale – Twin Cities

The Minnesota Twins showed their resilience against the Tampa Bay Rays, battling back twice from one- and two-run deficits, only to falter at the end, losing 7-5 in a hard-fought game on Sunday. A highlight for the Twins was Harrison Bader's thrilling two-run homer in the eighth inning that tied the game and sent it into extra innings. However, the team couldn’t overcome a three-run deficit in the 10th inning, as Justin Topa allowed a double and made a costly error.

Prior to the late-game drama, the Twins initially took the lead with a home run from Byron Buxton. Joe Ryan pitched solidly, striking out eight while allowing just two runs over six innings. Trevor Larnach's aggressive slide contributed to a run, tying the game again in the sixth. Unfortunately, the late-game collapse overshadowed a promising performance by the Twins, resulting in a disappointing loss.
