The Boston Red Sox have already traded a key player in Rafael Devers. They could look to move on from another player who figured to be part of their future.

Red Sox Legend Says Club ‘Didn’t Respect’ Rafael Devers Following Blockbuster Trade originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Back in 2008, Manny Ramírez's rocky Boston Red Sox tenure ended with a stunning blockbuster trade to a Los Angeles Dodgers club with championship aspirations.

As John Henry and the Fenway Sports Group are the owners of both clubs, a conspiracy theory immediately circulated that the Red Sox were forced to trade Devers because Liverpool had landed Wirtz. On WEEI’s Greg Hill Show Monday morning, Boston’s Chief Baseball Officer Craig Breslow shot that idea down emphatically.
