During the first round of the NWSL's 2020 draft on Thursday, Sky Blue FC sent a haul of draft picks to the Washington Spirit in exchange for a player to be named later. As it turns out, it's a pretty big name.
According to The Washington Post, the Spirit have sent USWNT winger Mallory Pugh to Sky Blue in the deal for the fourth overall draft pick, two second-round picks and a first-round pick in 2021. The fourth overall pick wound up being UCLA and U.S. youth national team forward Ashley Sanchez, an addition that perhaps made Pugh expendable.
