Even though the Minnesota Twins had talks with the Boston Red Sox about Joe Ryan leading up to the trade deadline, one player whose name never came up in discussions was Roman Anthony.

Of note, Bowden identified the Red Sox as the team “that asked for too much in trades,” citing multiple MLB general managers. That led to another undesirable superlative for Boston: “The fan base that heard crickets.”
