Why the WNBA Trade Deadline Was So Quiet | Next Beckham? MLS Signs International Superstar
Description
The WNBA trade deadline was at 3 p.m. ET on Thursday, but there were only a few substantial trades made this week—a function of the CBA and roster limits, says FOS women's sports reporter Annie Costabile. Plus, LAFC has made official the largest MLS transfer in history, paying $26.5 million for Korean superstar Son Heung-min. MLS insider Tom Bogert explains why this moment is so massive for the league and how Lionel Messi factors into it all. Also, FOS media reporter Michael McCarthy spoke to the leads at ESPN and NFL about the new RedZone mega-deal worth at least $2.5 billion, and shares his takeaways with Renee Washington and FOS editor-in-chief Dan Roberts on Front Office Sports Today.
