Red Sox Reportedly Making ‘Late Effort’ To Land Twins All-Star
Can Craig Breslow pull off a surprise deal?
The Boston Red Sox are working hard all the way up until the trade deadline.
MLB Network’s Jon Morosi revealed on Thursday evening that Boston was making a late push to acquire a Minnesota Twins All-Star.
“The Red Sox have made a late effort to acquire Joe Ryan, source says,” Morosi posted to X less than 30 minutes before the 6 p.m. ET deadline.
Ryan, 29, has been linked to the Red Sox for weeks. The right-hander entered Thursday with a 10-5 record, a 2.82 ERA and 137 strikeouts in 20 starts.
Is chief baseball officer Craig Breslow about to pull off an eleventh-hour blockbuster?
Thursday has been an eventful day for the American League East, but the Red Sox haven’t been as active as their rival New York Yankees, who have acquired a handful of new players this week.
The Yankees snagged David Bednar from from the Pittsburgh Pirates and Jake Bird from the Colorado Rockies on Thursday, bolstering their bullpen in a big way.
The Red Sox were reportedly in hot pursuit of Arizona Diamondbacks’ Merrill Kelly, but Kelly ultimately landed with the Texas Rangers, per ESPN’s Jeff Passan.
