Good morning folks. It is the day before the 2009 MLS Draft, which generally goes down as the
busiest day of the year for transactions. With draft pick trades, and deals for veterans flying,
the chances are very good that your team will look very different two days from now.
This is what we have been hearing in the past day or so:
Seattle is openly courting offers for the No.
I'm usually very reluctant to make a story out of a mild rumor but Gary Smith's
words on today's From The Pitch show about Christian Gomez were
very revealing. When asked about a possible deal involving Gomez and draft picks and other things,
the Colorado Rapids' coach hedged his reponse somewhat, saying that he hoped the
Argentinian would be involved with the team next season but, should anything come up in the interim
that may suggest Gomez didn't really want to come back, then things were back on the table.
Christian Gomez is out of favor in Colorado and is clearly on the trading block.
So, I'm flipping through the RSS feeds this morning, and I come across Goff's bit of speculation
regarding Gomez/Gallardo and their respective futures vis-a-vis DC United. I file this in my noggin
alongside the fact that Seattle took Ianni (a center back? don't we need a few of them?) off
Houston's hands for a conditional second/third round pick despite the plummeting value of anything
but

Colorado's surplus to requirements midfielder is not in the FCD sights.

The plot thickens. So Gallardo "clearly doesn't want to be" here, and Gomez
"desperately wants" to come back. Well, that takes care of the motivation angle, doesn't
it? But what about the other big factors? Namely . . . Salary! Gomez is pulling down $400k.
Although ditching Gallardo saves the ownership over a mil in DP outlay, swapping Gomez for Gallardo
would net us nothing against the cap
