Trade Confirmed
It's MLS Draft Week, and we know what that means... Get all your trades done before draft time or you'll have to actually pick a few of them youngin's!
The overall #1 draft pick just moved from San Jose over to KC, where Nick Garcia was sent to the West Coast.
I think we all know by now that El Floppo (Carlos Ruiz) was sent packing from Dallas back to LA. Houston fans are crying... ;-)
The Fire made off the field moves, finally giving Hamlett his due as head coach and bringing in Best Buy as their primary jersey sponsor.
And it seems the Rapids have been working behind the scenes to get their own deal done.
Multiple sources have confirmed that MLS recently approved the trade to send Jose Burciaga, Jr. from the Wiz to Colorado in return for our 2009 second round draft pick.
If true, and if it's only a 2nd round pick... not too shabby!
Welcome to Colorado, Jose!
The 26-year old Defender should help provide needed depth in the Rapids back line. Check his bio out here on mlsnet.com
