The 2023 Columbus Crew season is just over a week away. The Black & Gold have been hard at work in preseason over the last month and a half to get ready for the new year and will open against the last season’s Supporters’ Shield winners, the Philadelphia Union, on the road on Feb. 25.
As we continue to look ahead to the new year, we wanted to give Columbus fans new and old players to look out for in 2023. Some of these may be more obvious to those who are familiar with the team, but take this as a baseline of Crew players you need to know heading into the new year.
