Veteran MLS scribe Sam Stejskal is reporting the news that everyone expected yet no one hoped for: Stalwart Chicago Fire goalkeeper is on his way out of the CF97 locker room, traded to new expansion side Atlanta United for, in Stejskal’s words, “allocation money.”
Atlanta appear to have found their GK. Sources tell me they've all but officially acquired Sean Johnson from Fire: https://t.co/7ySE69L1lQ

If Johnson’s time with the Men in Red is truly over, he leaves with his dignity intact, if not entirely his once-burgeoning reputation.
