Nashville SC lost its coin-flip with fellow expansion club Inter Miami CF today, but the Boys in Gold still can be happy about the results of the day.
In the next phases of building their inaugural Major League Soccer roster, they know they have the following outcomes:
MLS Expansion Priority Draft Results
