2019 Expansion Draft comes and goes; Union untouched
Much like the previous Major League Soccer Expansion Drafts, Philadelphia Union escaped unscathed as Inter Miami CF and Nashville SC each made their five choices.
Miss the picks? Check out the selections below:
Inter Miami CF
Left back — Age: 28 — Drafted from NYCFC
Sweat went from cast-off Columbus draft pick to starting left back for one of the best teams in MLS. He first emerged under Patrick Vieira at NYCFC and he continued to be a reliable option for the No. 1 team in the East in 2019. A left back with strong pace and stamina, Sweat earned his first USMNT call-up last October. He can also play at left center back in a pinch.
Right back — Age: 25 — Drafted from FC Cincinnati
