Cristina Alexander is joined by analyst Natalia Astrain and special guest Claire Hutton after the NWSL trade market erupted with two headline moves: Hutton to Bay FC for $1.1M and Croix Bethune to the Kansas City Current for $1M. Hutton jumps on live to share her reaction, what attracted her to Bay FC, and what she’s most excited to bring to her new club. Then the crew breaks down Bethune’s fit in Kansas City, debates which team made the bigger move, and discusses what’s next for the Washington Spirit.
The show also turns to the international stage as Emma Hayes releases the USWNT SheBelieves Cup roster, plus reactions to Ali Krieger’s Media Day sit-downs with Trinity Rodman, Riley Jackson, and Gisele Thompson—including Natalia’s unique perspective on Jackson and Thompson.
