Revolution considered moving up in the 2017 SuperDraft
The New England Revolution explored moving up in the 2017 MLS SuperDraft, according to New England Soccer Journal Assistant Editor Kyle McCarthy.
Hours before the draft, rumors swirled that Minnesota United FC, Atlanta FC, and the Chicago Fire, holders of the top three picks, were open to trades. The Revs were linked to each team, especially in light of Ives Galarcep’s report that Teal Bunbury was looking for a move away from New England.
Though we don’t know what was offered, we have learned that the Revs thought about acquiring a higher pick.
Revolution coach Jay Heaps said team had discussions this morning about moving up in SuperDraft, but price didn't fit. #MLS
