Twins consider trading Joe Ryan to avoid past mistake with Pablo Lopez
Summary

The Minnesota Twins are looking ahead as trade calls for Joe Ryan could intensify. Currently at 39-45, they remain 2.5 games back of an AL Wild Card. There are suggestions that the team should not repeat the mistake made with Pablo Lopez, who they failed to trade before he was sidelined due to injury. With Ryan sporting a 3.18 ERA and under club control through 2027, experts recommend leveraging his high trade value this summer. Waiting too long may lead to a similar lost opportunity as with Lopez, who is not expected to pitch in 2026 after undergoing elbow surgery.
