Joe Ryan is staying with the Minnesota Twins for the rest of the season, as the team opts to fight for a playoff spot rather than trade their ace reliever. Despite being a hot commodity—once rumored to head to the Red Sox—Ryan’s dominant first half, All-Star caliber play, and critical role in Minnesota’s postseason push make him indispensable. The Twins’ bold move to acquire Tommy Nance signals they’re betting big on Ryan and their current roster, choosing to win now over maximizing his trade value.

The Twins are on fire, riding a nine-game win streak and sitting just half a game out of a Wild Card spot — a dramatic turnaround from April. With momentum building, they could be buyers at the trade deadline, though a slump could flip them back to sellers. Meanwhile, star Byron Buxton is locked in, reiterating his commitment to Minnesota despite a hip injury sidelining him from the All-Star Game. With two kids born since joining the team and a no-trade clause protecting him, Buxton’s loyalty is unwavering — and GM Jeremy Zoll and the Pohlads have confirmed they have no intention of trading him, even as he’s crushing it with a .271 average, 25 homers, and a .904 OPS.
