Season in Review: Warren Creavalle embodies Union mentality

Philadelphia Union acquired a second round pick from Orlando City as part of the deal thatsent Amobi Okugo south. That pick turned into defender Tony Alfaro, but the Union had already dealt it away in exchange for Warren Creavalle, and it's safe to say they don't regret the decision. Creavalle hasn't played over 700 minutes in a season since 2016, but, tellingly, it would be impossible to find somebody in the Union locker room that doesn't want Creavalle in there with them.

Creavalle's biggest moment was a start in the Union's playoff matchup with NYCFC. Sitting in front of the defense, he tried to provide more freedom for Haris Medunjanin to step forward while offering greater protection to the defense.
