Red Sox Aggressively Pursuing All-Star RHP Joe Ryan from Twins

All-Star RHP Joe Ryan, 29, is a primary trade target for the Red Sox, who previously pursued him at the 2025 deadline. Ryan posted a career-best 3.42 ERA, 1.035 WHIP, 194 K, and 39 BB over 171 innings in 2025. Under team control through 2027, acquiring Ryan from the rebuilding Minnesota Twins would require a significant trade package, but he would immediately slot into Boston's No. 2 rotation spot.
