The NWSL offseason is prone to wild, blockbuster trades. There was the unforgettable three-team swap in 2018 that included Carli Lloyd, Sam Kerr and Christen Press. Before that, the Portland Thorns sent Alex Morgan and Kaylyn Kyle to the Orlando Pride for the top pick in the 2016 draft (USWNT defender Emily Sonnett) and other assets that turned into Meghan Klingenberg and Lindsey Horan. There was the Abby Wambach-for-Sydney Leroux trade in 2015. Suffice it to say there's little that should shock fans at this point when it comes to stars changing addresses in the winter months.
