Red Sox Deadline Moves Draw Criticism and Doubt
The Boston Red Sox faced criticism after making only minor moves at the 2025 MLB trade deadline, acquiring pitchers Steven Matz and Dustin May while playoff rivals made bigger upgrades. Rumors and a mistaken report suggested the Red Sox were close to acquiring Minnesota Twins ace Joe Ryan, but talks reportedly never came close to completion, partly due to Boston's reluctance to trade major league outfielders or top prospects. Conflicting reports circulated about Boston's willingness to include prospects, and sources noted both internal caution and other teams' hesitance to deal with Boston's front office. Meanwhile, the Twins traded away ten players in a major roster shakeup but kept Ryan, who acknowledged the emotional toll of trade speculation. Red Sox players expressed confidence in their current roster despite fan disappointment and the lack of major reinforcements. The team's conservative approach intensified scrutiny and frustration among analysts and supporters.
