Cubs Predicted to Acquire Twins All-Star Joe Ryan for Huge 3-Player Package
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A lot of teams could really use the Minnesota Twins' Joe Ryan, but the Chicago Cubs may be at the top of the list. The Cubs have a couple of excellent left-handers at the top of their rotation, but they're missing the presence of a workhorse righty. That's especially poignant as they've fallen behind the Milwaukee Brewers, whose rotation is well-balanced and very deep, in the division race. Trading for Ryan, a first-time All-Star this season who also has two years of control left after this season, would be expensive. But just how expensive? Is the asking price going to exceed what the Cubs are willing to surrender? MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA - JUNE 22: Joe Ryan #41 of the Minnesota Twins celebrates recording a complete game shutout against the Boston Red Sox after the game at Target Field on June 22, 2023 in Minneapolis,... MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA - JUNE 22: Joe Ryan #41 of the Minnesota Twins celebrates recording a complete game shutout against the Boston Red Sox after the game at Target Field on June 22, 2023 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The Twins defeated the Red Sox 6-0. MoreJust Baseball's Ryan Finkelstein and Jay Staph believe the price will be just within reason, allowing the Cubs to use their excellent farm system to make a splash. On Friday, Finkelstein and Staph predicted that the Cubs would acquire Ryan, sending the Twins a three-prospect package including catcher Moises Ballesteros, infielder Jefferson Rojas, and right-handed pitcher Jaxon Wiggins. "For a team with World Series aspirations and a deep farm to boot, we are shooting for the stars with this one. So why not grab the best ace with control and swing a trade for Joe Ryan?" asked Finkelstein and Staph. "While no team ever truly wants to trade their ace until they absolutely have to, this would be the rare chance to receive three top 100 prospects in one deal. That's not an offer they would be able to turn down lightly." How good has Ryan been this season? Among 61 qualified starting pitchers, he ranks 12th in ERA (2.63), 12th in strikeouts (132), seventh in opponent batting average (.163) and in fourth WHIP (0.90). Add in the years of control, and it's hard to imagine the Twins giving him up for any inferior package to the above proposal. While it might make Cubs fans wince to give up so much talent in one go, the reality is that this is the time to push the chips to the center. And as long as Ryan remains healthy, he'd be able to help with two more pennant chases at a minimum. More MLB: Blue Jays Predicted to Cut Ties With Surging Outfielder Due to Roster Crunch

Last Dance – Five Veteran Inter Milan Stars Set For Final Season Before A ‘Revolution' Next Summer
This season will be the 'last dance' for five veteran players in the last years of their contracts with Inter Milan. Today's print edition of Rome-based newspaper Corriere dello Sport, via FCInterNews, identify Yann Sommer, Francesco Acerbi, Stefan de Vrij, Matteo Darmian, and Henrikh Mkhitaryan as players set to depart next summer. Last season, Inter had the oldest squad in Serie A in terms of average age. Moreover, the Nerazzurri regularly started matches with a starting eleven whose average age was north of thirty. Clearly, therefore, it is not overly surprising that the single biggest priority in the summer transfer window for Inter has been to bring that average age down. That does not, however, mean that there has been a major exodus of any of the aging players. On the contrary, the veterans have all stuck around. But according to the Corriere dello Sport, that won't be for long. 'Last Dance' For Five Veteran Players At Inter Milan SEATTLE, WASHINGTON – JUNE 25: Francesco Acerbi #15 of FC Internazionale Milano walks on the field prior to the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 group E match between FC Internazionale Milano and CA River Plate at Lumen Field on June 25, 2025 in Seattle, Washington. (Photo by) In goal, Yann Sommer has one more year left to go on his contract at Inter. And the Swiss veteran will see out his deal, despite having been linked with Galatasaray this summer. However, there is little indication that Inter will offer an extension to Sommer. The former Bayern Munich and Borussia Monchengladbach keeper will turn 37 this coming season. And Josep Martinez is waiting in the wings to replace him. Similarly, all of Stefan de Vrij, Matteo Darmian, and Francesco Acerbi are still pillars of Inter's defense. De Vrij, in particular, has been with Inter since 2018. But all three are out of contract with Inter at the end of next June. And the same is true of midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan. The Armenian has been a reliable servant to the Nerazzurri, but turns 37 in January. Next summer, when all of these players' contracts expire, the Corriere anticipate that there will be nothing short of a 'revolution' in Inter's squad.

Cubs, Mariners Reportedly Frontrunners For Diamondbacks Third Baseman After Yankees Trade
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. The New York Yankees made a deal with the Colorado Rockies for Ryan McMahon, taking them out of the bidding for Arizona Diamondbacks slugger Eugenio Suárez. MLB Insider Jon Heymen reported later that the leaders for the All-Star third baseman are the Chicago Cubs and the Seattle Mariners. PHOENIX, ARIZONA - JULY 21: Eugenio Suarez #28 of the Arizona Diamondbacks reacts after hitting a solo home run against the Houston Astros during the third inning at Chase Field on July 21, 2025 in... PHOENIX, ARIZONA - JULY 21: Eugenio Suarez #28 of the Arizona Diamondbacks reacts after hitting a solo home run against the Houston Astros during the third inning at Chase Field on July 21, 2025 in Phoenix, Arizona. More Photo byThe Cubs reportedly have been active in the Suárez sweepstakes and are in search of a third baseman and another power bat to add to their lineup with Seiya Suzuki. Chicago sounds like a great landing spot for Suárez as he would return to the National League Central and would get to terrorize the division once more. The next team that Heyman mentioned as the main competitor to the Cubs for Suárez was the Mariners. Seattle just made a deal with the Diamondbacks Thursday night for Josh Naylor, and it might not be done yet. The Mariners reportedly are still in on their former third baseman and would be the final piece to Seattle's puzzle. Pairing Suárez with catcher Cal Raleigh would be a deadly combo to pitch to in the late innings, and the Mariners just might make it happen. After the Yankees settled for McMahon, the doors have opened for other teams to swoop in and try to make a deal for the All-Star slugger. Other teams are still in the mix, but to Heyman, it feels like it is down to the Mariners and the Cubs unless one of the other teams slides in with a deal the Diamondbacks can't turn down.
