It appears Joe Ryan was not traded on Thursday, despite seemingly everyone else on the roster leaving Minnesota. Fox Sports originally sent out the trade, but then later deleted the post. Yahoo then posted the news and gave Jon Morosi the credit. The trade did not get done, and working on what went wrong with this deal.

It got ugly to the point that Boston was hitting homers off 52 mph pitches from Kody Clemens in the ninth inning.

Brooks Lee hit a two-run single off Jordan Hicks in the bottom of the ninth inning to give the Minnesota Twins a 5-4 victory over the Boston Red Sox after a 90-minute rain delay.
