Episode Notes
In one of the most blockbuster offseason moves in recent NWSL history, Claire Hutton and Croix Bethune both had million-dollar transfers on Wednesday. So, where do these moves leave the players, their respective clubs, and their U.S. women’s national team ambitions?
On this episode of Full Time, hosts Jillian Sakovits and Tamerra Griffin react to Wednesday’s shocking double transfer, which saw Hutton move from the KC Current to Bay FC for $1.1m and Bethune head to the Current from the Washington Spirit for $1m. What has been the fan reaction? Who won the deal? Why did these teams need to make these moves?
After that, Hutton joined Full Time for an exclusive interview to share why she decided to sign for Bay, what other options were on the table, and why she is so excited to work with new Bay head coach Emma Coates.
