The Boston Red Sox are working hard all the way up until the last seconds before 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 thiry minutes before the trade 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 2025 so far (20 starts).

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.
