"The New York Mets are in on Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Joe Ryan as they continue to scour every corner of the market to fix their broken rotation. Jon Heyman of the New York Post reported that the Mets are circling a Twins team that is expected to continue the firesale that began during the trade deadline in July. Ryan, 29, posted a 3.42 ERA and 1.03 WHIP with 194 strikeouts in a career-high 171 innings in 2025."
"He is not the only member of the Twins that the Mets could be in on, as well. In need of outfield help after dealing Brandon Nimmo to the Texas Rangers, All-Star center fielder Byron Buxton might also be had on the trade market after reportedly softening his stance that he would remain a Twin for life."
"Ryan would immediately slot near the top of the Mets' rotation alongside Nolan McLean, whose barnstorming two-month MLB debut already has him approaching ace status. The picture of the rotation is still murky behind him, though. Clay Holmes performed admirably in his first year as a starter and projects to be a bona fide No. 3 or 4 arm in a good rotation. But Sean Manaea failed to recapture his 2024 magic after dealing with injuries, and David Peterson's All-Star first-half of 2025 led to a nosedive in production late."
The New York Mets are targeting Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Joe Ryan as a potential frontline starter after he posted a 3.42 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 194 strikeouts in 171 innings in 2025. The Twins appear likely to continue a postseason firesale, which could make Ryan and others available. The Mets also have interest in All-Star center fielder Byron Buxton following the Brandon Nimmo trade. The Mets' rotation would pair Ryan with Nolan McLean, but depth remains a concern given uneven 2025 performances from Sean Manaea, David Peterson and Kodai Senga's injury-related struggles.
