The owner of the Red Sox, John Henry, also owns the Premier League-winning soccer team Liverpool.
Simmons hinted on X that the possible motive behind the trade was to help finance the newest transfer to Liverpool, Florian Wirtz. Liverpool reportedly paid his former club $100 million for the midfielder.
Devers is in the third season of a 10-year, $313 million contract and had been at odds with the team this spring training, after he was moved from third base to DH for the newly signed Alex Bregman.

It’s all about $. Who cares what the rubes think? They will just keep spending their money on these circuses.
My question is “Is that taxable”? Short term capital gains, long term capital gains, sales tax?
