Mets Reportedly Eye Twins Ace Joe Ryan for Rotation Boost

The New York Mets are reportedly interested in trading for Minnesota Twins ace Joe Ryan to bolster their starting rotation. Ryan, 30, has two years of team control remaining and is projected to earn around $6 million in arbitration for 2026. In 2025, he posted a 3.42 ERA, 1.03 WHIP, and 194 strikeouts in a career-high 171 innings, relying heavily on his elite four-seam fastball. The Twins, undergoing a rebuild, are believed to be seeking a package including top prospect Jonah Tong and more for the right-hander.
