Its been a long while since I updated this projected order, mainly because I knew there would be a slew of trades that would come down to shake up this order. And let's be honest, we've seen plenty of deals this year that included draft picks. With Monday's trade deadline looming, I figured we could bring [. Click to continue reading...

Ruiz Still On Trading Block

2
Surprise, surprise...the LA Galaxy are still shopping Guatemalan striker Carlos Ruiz. The main reason why The Fish is back on the trading block (was he really ever off?) is due to LA's desire to claim Eddie Lewis through the allocation system. They would need to free up some space and dump Ruiz as we all [. Click to continue reading...

Sitting around this morning I started jotting down a few ideas for some trades in Major League Soccer, low and behold I wasn't the only one thinking once I started to talk to some people around the league.

Alvarez To San Jose

2
I had a slight feeling yesterday evening watching Arturo Alvarez and thinking that his time in Dallas was going to be limited. Thing was I didn't know how limited. I knew a trade would happen soon by the club but again I didn't know how soon. Well, today Dallas head coach Schellas Hyndman pulled the trigger [. Click to continue reading...

I guess this is what happens when you get an early start to the day. I'd been meaning to go through the previous allocation list in the MLS and try and figure out its recent updates.
