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…

Croix Bethune's trade to Kansas City took us all by surprise this afternoon. We take a look at both the negatives and potential positives coming out of this deal.
Washington Spirit trade Croix Bethune to KC Current for $1 million
In a surprising move, Washington Spirit have traded star midfielder Croix Bethune to 2025 shield-winners Kansas City Current for $100 thousand in allocation funds and $900 in transfer threshold funds, the team announced Wednesday. Bethune, who had one year and an option year remaining on her contract with the Spirit, signed a new deal through 2027 with the Current. Bethune was the third pick of the 2024 NWSL draft -- a slot Washington traded Sam Staab to receive -- and quickly impressed with her keen sense of space, canny passing in the final third, and killer instinct before the goal.

NWSL salaries aren't public so this is speculative, but I think they have a looming cap crunch that had to be dealt with.
Rodman's contract + Sullivan's return from SEI + big names on contracts that end in 11 months (Kingsbury, Krueger, Wiesner, Santos, Sullivan, Hershfelt).

Do you think this move is to offset some of the financial impacts of the Spirit’s other big offseason moves or if this is to make room for another big move? Or for other reasons?

Extra context: I was just listening to Haley Carter on @heyspirits.bsky.social mention that this is a business and selling off players/facilitating their development is part of the job.
In hindsight, feels like a clue to this. Really curious to see where they'll use the $$ next.
