With the 30 teams in one place, Atlanta makes sense as a neutral land for the trades to negotiate.
This rarely happens, however. The star break is generally a calm moment for MLB transactions, the fireworks that followed after the break. But that does not prevent rumors from swirling.
One of the biggest names on the market is the launcher starting from the Minnesota Twins, Joe Ryan. The Twins are currently 11 1/2 games from the Central American League and four games in the last place of the American League Jokers. Boston’s Red Sox was reported to watch the situation, their eyes potentially on the star pitcher.
Ryan addressed commercial rumors during the availability of the star media.
“It’s fun for me. July is great,” Ryan told Rob Bradford on weekends. “I think everyone in the clubhouse is excited to see where the guys will go around the league. Being someone who could be exchanged, it would be exciting. I love Minnesota, and I like where I am, so it would be sad and difficult to go, but at the end of the day, it’s never mine.

If the Red Sox want to acquire Ryan, it will not be cheap. He is in the middle of his best season as a pro, and still has two years of control after the 2025 season. He currently holds an MPM of 2.72 and withdraws the strikers at a pace in accordance with the best in baseball at 28.3%.
Ryan would tackle Garrett Crochet in the rotation, a spot that Craig Breslow said that they were inclined to upgrade. With Lucas Giolito and Brayan Bello Tanging as they did, the addition of Joe Ryan to the staff would make Red Sox one of the most formidable teams in baseball. It can cost a nice penny, but the sky is the limit of this group.
