Sporting Kansas City has traded midfielder Kevin Oliveira and defender Tyler Pasher to Atlanta United FC for forward Kenwyne Jones and goalkeeper Alexander Tambakis.
Sporting KC also sent its second-round pick in next year's draft to Atlanta while getting back that club's fourth-round selection in the 2021 draft.
The deal was struck Sunday during Major League Soccer's half-day trade window.
The 21-year-old Oliveira and the 25-year-old Pasher were developmental players who spent most of last season with Swope Park Rangers, the USL affiliate of Sporting KC. Jones is a longtime Trinidad and Tobago national team member while Tambakis was the first signing in Atlanta United history.
