Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Joe Ryan is being monitored by "a number of teams" leading up to the July 31 MLB trade deadline, according to MLB Network's Jon Morosi.

The Boston Red Sox already have arguably the biggest trade chip in baseball. Now, a group of experts thinks an even bigger splash could be possible, putting an Alex Bregman trade on the table.

The Boston Red Sox are named as a potential trade candidate for Minnesota Twins ace Joe Ryan at the MLB trade deadline.

As the Boston Red Sox continue to swing from looking like a playoff contender to a seller leading up to the trade deadline, opposing teams are at least keeping an eye on Alex Bregman's status.

According to MLB Network's Jon Morosi, the Red Sox are monitoring the market to see if Joe Ryan could be acquired in a trade.

Yoshida strengthens the lineup at a time when Boston has been rolling, scoring 10 or more runs in six of its last 11 games.

Keeping that in mind, the Tigers have been mentioned as a possible trade partner for the Boston Red Sox. Jim Bowden of The Athletic has named Red Sox relief pitcher Aroldis Chapman as a potential target for Detroit.

The Red Sox are once again on the buy/sell line as the trade deadline approaches. That's why big weekends like the one they just had in D.C. matter.
