With the 2019 NWSL draft taking place in our fair city, one had to expect that the Red Stars would be busy setting the themselves up for the future while still betting on this year’s top prospects, in what usually proves to be Chicago’s most productive route to developing their roster.
With all that in mind, it’s no surprise that Chicago started making moves a little bit early, kicking off the week by bringing forward Katie Johnson in from Sky Blue FC in exchange for the sixth pick in the 2019 draft and Chicago’s natural second round pick in 2020.
