The Chicago Red Stars got their draft shenanigans in early this year. The vision for NWSL Draft Day 2019 started to come into play on Wednesday when the Red Stars participated in a series of trades.
Chicago announced a trade with Sky Blue FC for Katie Johnson in exchange for Chicago’s first round 6th pick in the 2019 draft. SBFC will also receive a second round pick in 2020.
The Red Stars weren’t done making moves on Draft eve when they also traded their 7th overall pick to the Washington Spirit in exchange for Washington’s natural first-round pick in 2020.
