If Joe Ryan is the top pitcher the Red Sox have on their trade deadline wishlist, then they might have to find a new No. 1 pitching target.
The Twins are expected to keep Ryan, but will listen to offers on him ahead of the July 31 trade deadline, USA Today‘s Bob Nightengale reported Sunday.
Boston was first linked to the Minnesota right-handed pitcher earlier in July. MLB Network’s Jon Morosi reports that the Red Sox were among a group of teams “monitoring” Ryan’s availability.
Ryan, 29, checks several boxes to be the Red Sox’ ideal trade candidate.
