Chad and Sheena are back discussing a busy week for Sporting Kansas City and a little KC Current news too. Sporting KC made a trade, cut a player, had another center back rumor bubble up and played their first preseason game against the Portland Timbers. Also, the early 2023 MLS Cup odds are trickling out and SKC are getting NO RESPECT! They are huge underdogs to win it all.
