You may have been sitting down for a later dinner or maybe even getting ready for bed (or in bed) when the Ike Opara trade from Sporting Kansas City to Minnesota United was announced last night. You may not have even found out until this morning. The initial shock may not have even worn off yet, even though we knew this was a distinct possibility.
Well, even though the ink isn’t dry on the deal, it’s time to compare the Opara trade to other similar trades across Major League Soccer.
