The Atlanta Braves are exploring the possibility of trading for Minnesota Twins pitcher Joe Ryan to strengthen their rotation as the trade deadline approaches. The Braves have seen some injuries in their starting lineup, and Ryan, a two-time All-Star, could provide essential support. With his 2.85 ERA, Ryan would rank second on the Braves pitching staff, only behind Chris Sale. The Twins are competing for a Wild Card spot, making their approach to the trade market uncertain. If Minnesota decides to part with Ryan, it is expected the Braves will need to make a competitive offer to secure the pitcher’s services.
