Talks fell apart when the Red Sox were unwilling to offer any of their big league outfielders, or an enticing enough package of their top-tier prospects.” The post Red Sox reportedly rebuffed Twins’ request for big-league OFs during Joe Ryan trade discussions appeared first on Boston.

Regardless of the Red Sox' activity (or lack thereof) at the trade deadline, they are still riding a lot of momentum. They are winners of five of their last seven games and were 17-7 in July. With a 59-51 record, they are one game ahead of the Seattle Mariners for the second AL Wild Card spot.

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.
