It’s MLS SuperDraft week so get ready with your jokes about the Philadelphia Union we definitely haven’t heard before.
The Philadelphia Union last drafted a player in the MLS SuperDraft in 2018 when they selected Dartmouth defender Matt Danilack with the 77th pick. He departed the club shortly into preseason with the Bethlehem Steel FC.
Since then the Union have earned some allocation money and a whole lot of generous earned media for their SuperDraft strategy.
All told they have traded eight picks that have ended up in players being drafted and passed on the three picks they still had when the draft rolled around, perhaps most notably the 101st pick they acquired in a trade for Kevin Kratz in 2020.
