One report said that the Red Sox and Craig Breslow weren't willing to part with one of their major league outfielders for Joe Ryan.

The Red Sox still have a logjam of outfielders after keeping everyone including Duran and Abreu, despite Duran’s name being floated in numerous trade rumors. They failed to get an impact starter, didn’t acquire a bat and didn’t address the hole at first base, but Breslow remains confident with the team he has.
