Thanks to Chicago Fire Confidential’s Guillermo Rivera and his fantastic Twitter feed, Fire fandom has almost immediate access to a transcript of what went on in this afternoon’s media conference call with Fire General Manager Nelson Rodriguez. You can look through Guillermo’s Twitter feed and get an idea of what Nelson brought up, but here are some of the big talking points:
- Nelson began by saying that no signings are imminent, and later went on to elaborate by saying that the draft will come before the next player signing.
- Nelson said that “the draft has various players that are interesting,” and that while “they are considering trades,” the Fire is leaning towards using both the third and eleventh picks.
