Ryan and Drew Strotman were traded from the Rays to the Twins on Thursday as part of a trade for Nelson Cruz.
Ryan was one of the top pitching prospects in the Rays' farm system, and he began the year at Triple-A Durham. He posted a 3.63 ERA and 0.79 WHIP in 57 innings across 12 appearances (11 starts). The right-hander also impressed during spring training this year, and he could be in consideration to make his major-league debut at some point in 2021, especially if the Twins trade away some starting pitchers prior to the trade deadline.
