When Benny Feilhaber stepped into the Pinnacle National Development Center where Sporting Kansas City now trains, it was like coming home to a place he had never stepped foot inside. Sporting KC started training there at the start of the 2018 season and Feilhaber was scheduled to get his first look at along with the rest of the team.
Feilhaber received a text letting him know when he would get his first look in early January of 2018. The next day, manager Peter Vermes called him to tell him he had been traded to Los Angeles FC.
