After the Orlando Pride fell in the first round of the 2017 NWSL playoffs, they had the goal of winning it all in 2018. To help boost the team, Orlando made a few notable trades and player acquisitions. Many of the assets traded away were draft picks and Orlando, as of right now, is only left with a fourth-round pick in 2019.
Steph Catley and Jasmyne Spencer were also traded away, both of whom were Pride originals and combined to total 76 appearances, eight goals, and seven assists in two seasons.
