The Athletic interview with Croix makes it pretty clear she wanted a new challenge and a more specific role. I hope Armas helps her but idk man.

"The people of Minneapolis, in bitter cold weather, behaved in a self-disciplined, humane way that appealed to people across the political spectrum," David Brooks says. "They turned up the heat and they put the regime in an impossible situation." https://to.pbs.org/467wlgk

Moreover, it’s ok for us to be sad about it all, but we really have it good here in Washington.
It’s ok for Croix to have wanted a change of scenery. It’s ok for her to feel whatever type of way about it. It’s ok for the team to make tough decisions we might not like. All this can be true without it being an indictment on the player or the team. It’s the beauty and the drama of sports.

BREAKING: Sources confirm to @espn.com that San Diego Wave are frontrunners to sign #USWNT star Catarina Macario. Nothing's signed but talks have advanced. Macario lived in SD as a kid after moving from Brazil. A desire to be closer to home + experience #NWSL are believed to be significant factors.

Solid. The assignment on first kits, when you don’t have access to more complex templates, is to get the color and trim right and they did.
EXCLUSIVE: Boston Legacy FC has unveiled its inaugural ‘First Light’ primary kits ahead of the 2026 NWSL season.
“We want to have an instant identity that is different and eye-catching, and, certainly, that green is.”

Again, if HC doesn’t think the current makeup of the team as it stands now is going to cut it, don’t think they won’t move on from other players. They’ll make room for whomever they want.
I agree with @838carlisle.bsky.social in that there has to be another move on the horizon. I don’t see this team making this trade from a sporting or commercial angle without something on the way.
If Cat or Putellas isn’t walking through that door…

Now that I’m done feeling my feelings, I go back to what @hccarter.bsky.social said during the @heyspirits.bsky.social podcast about team construction. Though the vibes were good, the team potentially doesn’t have the right mix to take it all. Love the Spirit regardless and happy for Croix.

fuck the salary cap
As for the Spirit, they have a half-dozen underpaid players who are due raises, and can't afford to pay all of them under the cap (which I'd support abolishing). In a just world, they'd just pay all of them. But they can't, so the correct thing to do is sell the one that has knee injuries.

Washington Spirit trading away Croix Bethune?
Rookie of the year and Midfielder of the Year Croix Bethune?
To a RIVAL TEAM?
The article says Croix requested the trade ... I can respect that but also really makes me wonder/worry what was going down at The Spirit that made her want to leave?
