The overhaul continues in Harrison.
New York Red Bulls announced a trade with Inter Miami FC for the contract rights to defender Patrick Seagrist, recently put on waivers after having his contract option declined by New York. His now-former club receives the princely sum of one third-round 2021 MLS SuperDraft selection and the potential for $50,000 in General Allocation Money provided “performance-based incentives are met.”
A Chicagoland native who played four years at Marquette University, Seagrist was drafted with the 10th overall pick in the 2020 MLS SuperDraft. Then-sporting chief Denis Hamlett traded up to select the left back “we knew we liked” who provided necessary depth at what is arguably the most labor-intensive role in the high pressing system.
