The Boston Breakers have traded midfielder Kristie Mewis and defender Kassey Kallman to the Washington Spirit in exchange for defender Megan Oyster and the #3 and #9 overall draft picks in the 2017 NWSL College Draft. Boston and Washington have also traded spots in the Distribution Ranking Order, aka allocation. Boston was #1 but will now be #2, while Washington takes the #1 spot.
Oyster was a key defender for the Spirit, though her stock with head coach Jim Gabarra seemed to fall over 2016. Still, when she was allowed to work on the back line, she really worked, and could end up being part of a revitalized Boston defense.
