BREAKING: The Kansas City Current has acquired #USWNT star Sam Mewis in a trade with the North Carolina Courage. KC is sending defender Kiki Pickett and the 2022 third overall pick to the Courage. #TealRising kansascity.com/sports/mls/kc-…
In a separate transaction related to this trade, Kansas City has also received North Carolina’s 2022 seventh overall pick for the discovery rights to former Florida State defender Malia Berkely. Berkely currently plays for Bordeaux in France. #TealRising
@ShaunGoodwinKC It would be interesting to see how this works. Through the end of this year she's on a USSF contract, but she has a contract with the Courage starting next season. I guess this is what is being transferred to KC. Franch would be a "Federation Player", but Mewis a club player.
@ShaunGoodwinKC Huge acquisition. Sam is a star. And something that this organization really needed. Love it
@ShaunGoodwinKC I knew she would not stay at NC. To many not-so-great memories. Just didn't know where she would show up!
@ShaunGoodwinKC Really excited for KC here.
@ShaunGoodwinKC I have been wondering if/when Berkeley would make it to the NWSL. Former ACC defensive POY. Would be a good get for the league.
@ShaunGoodwinKC KC is going to be🔥. their kits, future stadium and training facilities, the team that went almost undefeated at home when the acquired AD and started clicking with each other. nwsl, is very fun to watch.
