Like many Red Sox fans, Joe Ryan was among those who were deceived by false social media posts that he had been traded to Boston prior to Thursday’s deadline. The Twins pitcher admitted that he thought he was on the move after seeing multiple social media posts from verified outlets that said that the Red Sox acquired him in a trade.

The Twins blew up their roster at the deadline, trading 10 players from the major league roster, including three-time All-Star shortstop Carlos Correa and closer Jhoan Duran. But Ryan, who is under team control for 2 1/2 more years, wound up staying.

The Boston Red Sox made a surprisingly generous offer to the Minnesota Twins, but were turned down, a new report says.
