That #NWSL trade has finally happened, expect a formal announcement shortly.
The Houston Dash send Sofia Huerta and Amber Brooks to Reign FC, Megan Oyster, Shea Groom and a 2022 draft pick head to Houston (2nd rd, conditional).

I will refuse to refer to them as OL Reign. It just sounds stupid. They play in Washington. Not Lyon, France. Besides that, IMO great fucking trade for the Reign. If you’ve read any of my blogs in the past, you’d know how disappointed I was with Huertas play last year.
It wasn’t great. What that means is, yup she’ll have a huge year this time around. With half the league leaving for Tokyo, Huerta should put up the MVP numbers she was supposed to have last year.
In reality, the trade isn’t lopsided in that Houston kinda needed some defense, and that’s what they’re getting. But with Huerta gone and Ohai gone, where are they gonna get the scoring necessary to finish top 4? It’s gonna be Daly vs a 4 back line every game? Technically she might miss half the season with the Olympics going on so…. God Bless the Houston Dash.
