The Minnesota Twins are advised to trade All-Star pitcher Joe Ryan, who has a 2.99 ERA this season, following the injury of teammate Pablo Lopez. MLB.com's Thomas Harrigan suggests the Twins should act as sellers at this summer's trade deadline, given their current standing as fringe Wild Card contenders. Ryan is set to become a free agent after the 2027 season. The recommendation stems from the belief that the Twins will not contend next season, making this the last opportunity to receive a significant return for Ryan.
