Social media had Joe Ryan believing he was traded to Red Sox
A report from MLB Network's Jon Morosi revealed the Boston Red Sox made a 'late effort' to acquire the starting pitcher. Shortly after, Yahoo Sports and FOX Sports both posted a graphic to X that Ryan was traded to Boston.
A source told MassLive's Chris Cotillo the Red Sox' pursuit of Ryan 'was not even close.' But for a few brief moments, Ryan thought he was on the move.
'I obviously thought I got traded for several minutes, and then it was like, 'Is this going to happen? What's the deal?' That was a weird mix of emotions," Ryan recently told reporters, via MLB.com. 'I was with Griffin (Jax) during that. It was just weird. Then he didn't think he was going to get traded, and he got traded (while) I didn't. It was weird. It was a lot. It felt like I was throwing an intense situation in a game.'
While the Red Sox and the Twins were in talks for Ryan, things fell apart because Minnesota wanted a package that started with either Jarren Duran or Wilyer Abreu, The Athletic's Dan Hayes reported.
The Red Sox didn't budge, and talks fell apart between the two teams due to Boston's unwillingness to offer an 'enticing enough package of their top-tier prospects,' Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reported.
Jhostynxon Garcia, also known as 'The Password,' was part of the deal Boston put together, but the overall package, according to McCaffrey, 'was not substantial enough to land Ryan.'
Instead, the Red Sox acquired Steven Matz from the St. Louis Cardinals and Dustin May from the Los Angeles Dodgers in a last-minute deal. The deadline left fans and media underwhelmed, especially after chief baseball officer Craig Breslow vowed to make the team better in the weeks leading up to the deadline.

Laureano singles in Bogaerts in the 10th as the Padres walk-off the Red Sox, 5-4
SAN DIEGO (AP) — Ramón Laureano singled in Xander Bogaerts from second base with no outs in the 10th inning and the San Diego Padres beat the Boston Red Sox 5-4 on Saturday night. With runners on first and second and the infield drawn in, Laureano, obtained from Baltimore at the trade deadeline, hit a chopper off off Garrett Whitlock (5-2) over third baseman Alex Bregman into left field. Bogaerts, who had a big game against his former team, scored. Boston's Roman Anthony tied it in the ninth when a ground-rule double off All-Star closer Robert Suarez that brought in Ceddanne Rafaela. Bogaerts homered, had an RBI single and walked. Manny Machado cost San Diego at least one run with a failed hidden-ball trick before Red Sox starter Lucas Giolito walked in two straight runs during a fifth-inning meltdown that gave the Padres the lead. With the Red Sox leading 3-2, Giolito allowed Fernando Tatis Jr.'s leadoff single in the fifth and then retired Machado and Luis Arreaz. But he then walked four straight batters, including Ryan O'Hearn and Ramón Laureano with the bases loaded, and was lifted. Giolito walked Jackson Merrill on four straight pitches, threw only one strike to Bogaerts and O'Hearn and went to a full count against Laureano. He allowed four runs and five hits, walked six and struck out one. Bogaerts, who signed a $280 million, 11-year free agent deal with the Padres in December 2022, homered leading off the second, his 10th, to tie it 1. He singled in Arraez with two outs in the third to pull the Padres to 3-2. With one out in the top of the third, Jarren Duran took his lead off third base and Machado still had the ball after Alex Bregman was caught in a rundown on the previous play. With reliever Wandy Peralta on the rubber, Machado tagged Duran, who pointed to the mound. Third base umpire Scott Barry called a balk, and Duran scored to give Boston a 2-1 lead. Trevor Story moved from second to third. By rule, the pitcher cannot be on the rubber for a hidden-ball trick to be legal. If another player tags a runner while the pitcher is on or straddling the rubber, it's a balk. Masataka Yoshida then hit a grounder to bring in Story and make it 3-1. Key stat Padres relievers Jeremiah Estrada, Adrian Morejon, Mason Miller, Suarez and Jason Adam (7-3) combined for 13 strikeouts from the fifth through 10th innings. Up next Red Sox RHP Brayan Bello (8-5, 3.03 ERA) and Padres RHP Dylan Cease (4-10, 4.60) are scheduled to start Sunday in the series finale. ___

Roman Anthony forces extra innings, but Padres get walkoff win in 10 innings
That ended a dramatic series of late-inning goings-on, including the Red Sox failing to advance their own automatic runner in the top of the 10th. After the Red Sox struck out 10 times in four innings against Jeremiah Estrada, Adrian Morejon, and Mason Miller, the flamethrowing blockbuster trade-deadline acquisition from the Athletics, they finally cracked the Padres' bullpen in the ninth. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up Roman Anthony blasted a double — on Robert Suarez's 99-miles-per-hour fastball on the upper edge of the strike zone — to bring in Ceddanne Rafaela as the tying run. Advertisement Aroldis Chapman retired the meat of the San Diego order — Manny Machado, Jackson Merrill, and Bogaerts — on 10 pitches to send the game to the 10th. Related : Lucas Giolito bent for most of his 4⅔ innings, then broke without recording another out. He concluded his grind of an outing with four consecutive two-out walks in the fifth inning. The last two, to bottom-half hitters Ryan O'Hearn and Laureano, came with the bases loaded, forcing in the tying and go-ahead runs. Giolito threw 32 pitches in the frame, just 12 strikes. Advertisement Steven Matz entered and induced a flyout from Jake Cronenworth, stranding Giolito's three base runners and salvaging Giolito's final line: five hits, four runs, six walks. Giolito's free passes were double his previous season-high (and as many as he had in his past five starts combined). Related : Throughout, Giolito worked around a lot of hard contact from the Padres and benefitted from several highlight-reel plays by his defenders. Among them: right fielder Wilyer Abreu's sliding grab of Jackson Merrill's smoked line drive in the third inning, and second baseman Ceddanne Rafaela's diving stop of Laureano's would-be single in the fourth. San Diego had five hard-hit balls turn into outs in the first four innings. The only batter actually able to drive a run in early was Bogaerts, who hit a home run in the second — the first hit of his life against the Red Sox — and an RBI single in the third. Xander Bogaerts celebrates after hitting a solo home run in the second inning, his first career hit against his former team. Gregory Bull/Associated Press In his return from the injured list, Padres righthander Michael King was not sharp, allowing two runs, four hits, and two walks across two-plus innings. King — a Warwick, R.I., native who went to Boston College — exited after 57 pitches, four fewer than he threw in his only minor league rehabilitation start. He had missed the previous 11 weeks because of a shoulder injury. Kickstarting Red Sox rallies in both the first and third: Alex Bregman, who doubled into the left-field corner in both innings. The first time, Jarren Duran brought him in with a single. Later, Bregman was caught in a rundown between third base and the plate, but evaded the Padres long enough for Sox runners to end up at second and third. Both went on to score. Advertisement The Red Sox could have had more early but did not capitalize on a second-inning, bases-loaded, one-out situation, other than to push King's pitch count (34 in that inning alone). That chance ended when Anthony, who had been ahead in the count, 3-1, whiffed at a changeup below the strike zone. Tim Healey can be reached at
