The Boston Red Sox attempted a big swing at the 2025 trade deadline, as they hoped to land Minnesota Twins pitcher Joe Ryan to help carry them through the postseason and beyond as their No. 2 starter.
The Twins didn't accept any of the Red Sox's significant trade offers, and they were forced to turn to the Los Angeles Dodgers to trade for Dustin May. But hours before, the Toronto Blue Jays made the deal Boston should've done.
The Blue Jays traded for longtime Cleveland Guardians pitcher Shane Bieber at the trade deadline, despite his injured list status.
