COLUMBUS - The Columbus Crew announced today that it has traded one of its eight international roster slots in 2014 to Vancouver Whitecaps FC in exchange for a Third Round selection (45th overall) in this afternoon's Third and Fourth Rounds of the 2014 MLS SuperDraft, held today at 2:00 p.m. ET via conference call. The international roster slot will return to Columbus on January 1, 2015. Per Major League Soccer and club policy, further details of the trade were not disclosed.
