The Boston Red Sox have had the wife of principal owner John Henry added to the list of minority owners as reported in The Boston Herald. Linda Pizzuti Henry acquired the shares held by Fenway Sports Group limited partner Arthur Nichols.
Fenway Sports Group is a holding group for the ever-growing collection of Henry interests including the Red Sox, Liverpool FC, NESN, Roush Racing and Fenway Park. Quite a collection.
This is not new news as the actual transaction took place in the summer and small shares occasionally become available. Ms. Henry married John Henry in 2009 and has been quite active in the various Henry interests including The Boston Globe, charity, and real estate interest connected to the Red Sox.
