CHICAGO (Aug. 11, 2017) – The Chicago Fire Soccer Club acquired goalkeeper Richard Sanchez through Major League Soccer’s Allocation Process on Friday. In order to acquire Sanchez, the Fire sent the club’s natural third round pick in the 2018 MLS SuperDraft and the No. 19 spot in the Allocation Ranking Order to the Portland Timbers in exchange for the No. 6 spot. Should Sanchez appear in five or more games this season, the Timbers will receive the Fire’s natural second round SuperDraft pick instead of the natural third round pick. Sanchez is under contract for the 2017 season with club options for 2018 and 2019.
