Twins Twins Decide Not To Trade Star Pitcher Joe Ryan As Red Sox Pursuit Falters.
The Minnesota Twins have signaled that they are unlikely to trade All-Star pitcher Joe Ryan this offseason, despite the Boston Red Sox being one of his top suitors. This news comes as a significant blow to the Red Sox's plans to bolster their rotation with Ryan, who is known for his impressive performance on the mound, having earned an All-Star nod last season.
Ryan has been at the center of attention since the summer, with the Red Sox inquiring about him ahead of the trade deadline. However, Boston and Minnesota were unable to come to terms, leaving Ryan's future with the Twins uncertain.
The Red Sox have already made significant moves this offseason, acquiring standout pitcher Sonny Gray from the Cardinals and right-handed pitcher Johan Oviedo from the Pirates. While these additions are expected to strengthen their rotation, it seems that they may not be enough to secure Ryan's services.
In the trade for Oviedo, the Red Sox offered outfielder Jhostynxon Garcia along with other prospects, but the Twins wanted either Jarren Duran or Wilyer Abreu instead. If Ryan were to become available this offseason, he would have been a prime target for the Red Sox to address their rotation needs.
However, with the Twins confident in their ability to compete in the AL Central, they appear to be taking a more conservative approach. With two seasons left of team control on Ryan's contract, there is still a chance that he could become available at the trade deadline or next offseason if his performance underwhelms this season.
For now, it seems that the Red Sox are focusing their attention elsewhere, having been linked to several top free-agent hitters, including Kyle Schwarber, Pete Alonso, J.T. Realmuto, and Kazuma Okamoto. Additionally, they remain in the running for Alex Bregman, who became a free agent after opting out of his contract with the Red Sox.
The Red Sox's pursuit of Ryan appears to be faltering, at least for now, as they position themselves to add a hitter to their roster in the coming days.

I'm not surprised by the Twins' stance on trading Joe Ryan 
. With two seasons left on his contract, it seems like they're taking a long-term view with him 
. The Red Sox's aggressive pursuit of free agents and other players suggests they're willing to go in a different direction this offseason 
️. Meanwhile, the Twins seem to be prioritizing internal development and team stability 
. Ryan's value is undeniable, but his trade value might not align with the Twins' goals at this point 
like back then you could just trade a mid-tier player and suddenly have all the marbles 
it's so much more complicated now with all these restrictions and whatnot... the twins are just being super tightfisted as usual, holding onto their stars like they're precious diamonds 
i mean ryan is an awesome pitcher and all but come on guys, don't be like that 
, would be sick to see him throw some heat against the yanks! 
anyway, it's like they say, "you can't have everything" 
regarding Joe Ryan... I feel bad for them, 'cause that guy's got some serious talent on the mound! 
It's always tough when a team's plans fall through, especially when you're hoping to add someone who could make a big impact. 
But hey, they've still made some solid moves so far this offseason, and they're not giving up yet 
. Maybe they'll find another ace in the hole? 
The Twins seem pretty confident about their team, though, and that's awesome! 
They're taking a more cautious approach with Ryan's contract, which is understandable... fingers crossed for Joe Ryan to stay put and keep rocking on the mound 
. I mean, come on, if they really wanted Joe Ryan that bad, they'd make it happen! It's all about leverage and playing hardball. They're trying to distract us with all these other big-name signings, but let's be real, Ryan is the one who would've made their rotation go from zero to hero 
. I'm not buying this "conservative approach" stuff either... they're just trying to stall for time and see if Ryan's value goes down 
. Meanwhile, we should keep a close eye on Ryan's performance this season – if he doesn't step up his game, watch out! He might just become available at the trade deadline 
.
but it sounds like the twins are gonna hold on tight 
... but then again, maybe this is a good thing for Ryan to stay with the Twins and just focus on his game
