Orioles' Bold Move: Trading for Ace Joe Ryan?
30 Jan
Summary
- Orioles could acquire Joe Ryan from Twins for top prospects.
- Ryan brings a 3.42 ERA and 194 strikeouts from last season.
- Baltimore gains two years of team control over the ace pitcher.
The Baltimore Orioles are contemplating a blockbuster trade to acquire Joe Ryan, the ace pitcher for the Minnesota Twins. This potential move, proposed by Fansided's Christopher Kline, is seen as the final piece that could make the Orioles serious World Series favorites. Ryan, a 2025 All-Star, offers elite command and significant strikeout potential.
Last season, Ryan finished with a 13-10 record, a 3.42 ERA, and 194 strikeouts over 171 innings. Pairing him with Trevor Rogers would create one of baseball's most formidable starting pitcher duos. The Orioles would secure two full seasons of team control over Ryan.
The proposed trade package would involve sending third baseman Coby Mayo, outfielder Heston Kjerstad, and catcher/outfielder Ike Irish to the Twins. Baltimore has demonstrated a willingness to spend this offseason and could be poised to offer Ryan a long-term contract.
