3rd Degree the Podcast3rd Degree the Podcast #220This week on 3rd Degree the Podcast, your hosts - Peter Welpton, Dan Crooke, and Buzz Carrick - tell you why the Seattle tie was a pretty good result. There's plenty of good to take away from that game just in the form of an improved Sebastian Lletget. After a hit on Leagues Cup and what to expect, then it's time to talk window and moves. A Bryan Reynolds rumor? Can FCD ad anyone? Could a trade be in the cards? How about Alan Sonora? And never forget who owns this team and what that means. Plus North Texas SC...2023-07-201h 20

Both were very similar in style and quality, unsurprising given all the missing pieces, but one had a much better result than the other. And the transfer window is upon us! Eugene Ansah and Dante Sealy are in, but Justin Che is out. Could Jose Martinez be done? What else does FCD need? And why is Jesus Ferreira the Elephant in the room?

Jesus Ferreira is an All-Star, let's compare him with Brandon Vazquez. FCD can make some moves this summer. Dante Sealy is back but Justin Che isn't. FCD gets two key players back this week but injuries are still a massive weight on the team. And there's talk of Lionel Messi's hypothetical Leagues Cup in Dallas and the resulting ticket kerfuffle.
