A wild offseason for the Washington Spirit continued today with yet another major trade. The Spirit shipped center back Megan Oyster, the #3 and #9 overall picks in the 2017 NWSL draft, and the #2 spot in the league’s Distribution Ranking Order (the league’s method for distributing national team players not currently on a team, basically) to the Boston Breakers. In return, the Spirit have acquired attacker Kristie Mewis, defender Kassey Kallman, and the #1 spot in the Distribution Ranking Order.
Oyster, the Spirit’s first-round pick in 2015, played every second of her rookie season under Mark Parsons.
