In this episode of the Designated Player's Podcast, the Columbus Crew are your 2020 MLS champions! Congratulations to Columbus and your fans, a well deserved victory and a very good cap on a very interesting and weird season. We break down the game for you in case you missed it or want to hear our take on everything that happened. We also talk about trade day in MLS! You know that part of the beautiful game where you trade an international slot for GAM and/or TAM, classic. We talk about all the deals, most of them coming from new expansion side Austin FC! Finally we make our picks for some weird "MLS end of season awards" that we made up!

2017 was the year of "Save the Crew". 2020 is the year of "Saved the Crew". Crazy to think that a few years ago they were on the cusp of a move to Austin, leaving Columbus with a giant MLS sized crater, and now we're talking about that same team as the champions of the league. Only in MLS! But they needed to take down one of the best teams of the decade, Seattle Sounders, to do it and we are here to break it down for you and tell you how they won, and why Seattle lost. 

GAM, TAM, stage one re-entry picks, international slots, 4th round SuperDraft picks; everything you could ask for in a soccer (football) league am I right? Well it's what you get in our loveable MLS and there was plenty of that recently especially with new side Austin FC joining the league. We break down all the deals, yes even the ones with no players involved, and tell you our thoughts on the moves.

Finally, we make our picks for some random "awards" that we made up because why not! Make sure if you listen this far that you tag us on social media and let us know what your pick would be for those awards because we would love to hear your thoughts!
