Twins' Joe Ryan trade stock rises ahead of August deadline

The Minnesota Twins are positioned to sell players ahead of the August 3 MLB trade deadline, with Joe Ryan emerging as a significant trade candidate. Ryan has shown improved performance lately, posting a 2.39 ERA over his last six starts, boosting his desirability on the trade market. After starting the season with a 3.76 ERA through May, Ryan's recent form may lead to a strong return for the Twins if he is dealt. With continued interest in his potential, the Twins will monitor Ryan's performance closely as the trade deadline approaches.
