After a week of play and testing, college soccer’s best players will learn their fate today in Baltimore.
The MLS Draft officially begins at 1 p.m. at the Baltimore Convention Center, and the Chicago Fire are currently on the clock. New Fire head coach Veljko Paunović and his staff have an important decision to make with the No. 1 pick — to choose or to trade.
Meanwhile, the LA Galaxy have already dealt its No. 12 pick to the Colorado Rapids in exchange for Targeted Allocation Money. The trade means that the Rapids now have the second, 12th and 22nd picks during the first round.
Plenty more trades, smiles and surprises are in store this draft day, but before joining the live commentary, be sure to have a look at SBI’s extensive MLS Draft and Combine coverage:
