Christian Gomez, the 2006 MLS MVP has been traded from DC United to the Colorado Rapids.

Kansas City, who apparently is going to try to outscore opponents in 2008, has traded Jose Burciaga jr. to the Colorado Rapids in exchange for a second round pick in the 2009 MLS draft. Burciaga was left unprotected in the 2007 expansion draft, which pretty much sealed his fate to a trade this off season.

The Kansas City Wizards have traded Nick Garcia to the expansion San Jose Earthquakes in exchange for the first pick in the upcoming 2008 MLS draft. San Jose apparently wasn’t happy with the prospects at #1, and need help in the back with the loss of Clarence Goodson.

In one of those “anyone could see this coming” trades, FC Dallas has traded Carlos Ruiz to the LA Galaxy in exchange for a 2nd round pick in 2009 and allocation money. The Galaxy now have three designated players on their roster, though Ruiz and Donovan are grandfathered in for now.

Sal Zizzo, who many assumed would be the first pick in the upcoming MLS draft has signed with Hannover 96, and has bypassed MLS all together. Too bad for San Jose.

Sometime this week, Don Garber will announce that the San Jose Earthquakes will return to the league as an expansion team, and start play in 2008. A stadium deal should be in place soon in San Jose, but until that time, it appears the team will play all over Northern California to attract a much larger fan base than the first time around.

Beckerman headed to RSL

RSL has traded Mehdi Ballouchy to Colorado Rapids for Kyle Beckerman. As an RSL fan, I hate to see Mehdi go, by far my favorite RSL player, but Beckerman is solid, a decent upgrade.
