Trade alert: you are moving three time zones
The transaction is complete before you finish reading the message. A new club, city, coaching staff and time zone now sit between you and the next match.
A trade can change a USA soccer career without a long transfer courtship. The roster move happens first; the player then learns the promised role, travel plan and practical cost of leaving.
