In today's issue, we explore the fantastical possibility of cities swapping stars between different sports leagues and who might be in those hypothetical trades.
I thought the alternative reality here would not be City Swapping Unions, but a model like European Soccer Clubs. The clubs themselves sponsor teams in other sports. For example, the team that won the top Spanish basketball league last season was FC Barcelona. Yep, the soccer team too. And handball, FC Barcelona has apparently started the handball season 5-0. So I guess this would have BC Boston trading Rafael Devers to the Phoenix Athletic Club for Chris Paul so they basketball team could over the top this season.
