The Boston Red Sox reportedly offered the Minnesota Twins "multiple" top-100 MLB prospects for starting pitcher Joe Ryan, per WEEI's Rob Bradford.

Boston came away from the Thursday deadline with just two new players, both pitchers on expiring contracts. Steven Matz and Dustin May were additions on the margins, but the Red Sox had something much bigger on the docket that they couldn't push over the goal line.

It appears Joe Ryan was not traded on Thursday, despite seemingly everyone else on the roster leaving Minnesota. Fox Sports originally sent out the trade, but then later deleted the post. Yahoo then posted the news and gave Jon Morosi the credit. The trade did not get done, and working on what went wrong with this deal.
