The Chicago Red Stars have parted with some of their substantial draft capital to boost their squad with some established talent.
The Red Stars dealt three first-round picks in the next two NWSL drafts and an international roster spot for the next two years to Sky Blue FC in exchange for Mal Pugh and Sarah Killion Woldmoe on Tuesday.
Sky Blue is receiving the fourth and eighth overall picks in the 2021 draft and a conditional first-rounder in 2022. In addition to already holding the third overall pick, Sky Blue has three first-round selections in next month's draft.
