Boston Red Sox supporters have speculated that the decision to trade Rafael Devers was influenced by Liverpool's chase for German midfielder Florian Wirtz, given both clubs are under the ownership of Fenway Sports Group (FSG).

Liverpool has already had a busy offseason, with Trent Alexander-Arnold opting to depart the club as a free agent and sign with Real Madrid.

Jeremie Frimpong has already been brought in as a defensive replacement and Milos Kerkez is set to join Liverpool from fellow Premier League side Bournemouth for a reported $52 million.

The blockbuster deal this summer involves a record-breaking fee for Wirtz, with Liverpool set to pay $139.5 million in guaranteed fees, plus an additional $21.75 million in potential add-ons.

The announcement of the proposed Wirtz deal and the Devers trade has seen some Red Sox fans voicing their discontent with FSG, particularly towards principal owner John W.

On Sunday, the Red Sox confirmed the major trade, dispatching Devers to the San Francisco Giants in return for right-handed pitcher Jordan Hicks, left-handed pitcher Kyle Harrison, outfield prospect James Tibbs and pitching prospect Jose Bello.
