Boom, 1st trade of the day. Chicago Fire deal No. 3 overall pick to NYCFC for $250K in Gernal allocation money. NYCFC takes Jonathan Lewis.
— Ives Galarcep (@SoccerByIves) January 13, 2017The Chicago Fire just loving trading with us on SuperDraft day, huh? Jokes aside, this seems like another potential winner for Claudia Reyna and co. Having started out the day without a draft pick in the first round, thanks to a deal struck two years ago with Seattle to acquire the discovery rights to Kwadwo Poku (which they bought back later in the day), it was being reported for much of the day that New York City FC would try to trade up.
