without drama and the firm realization that maybe the match against Atlas U-20s in which two
players were sent off was not completely out of character. The Union had three men sent off this
time - one of whom was allowed to be replaced - en route to a 2-0 loss to FC Dallas.

After being out of contract with Kansas City, goalkeeper Kevin Hartman is now a member of FC
Dallas. Hartman failed to come to terms with the Wizards on a new contract, meaning he needed
another Major League Soccer club to trade for his rights before he could sign with them. Dallas
sent a second round 2012 SuperDraft pick to the Wizards in return for the MLS rights to Hartman.

Word earlier today from 3rd Degree was that the Wizards had traded the rights to goalkeeper Kevin
Hartman to Dallas. The Wizards have officially announced the trade this evening. In return for the
Wizards former starting keeper, the Wizards are getting a 2012 second round draft pick. Hartman

While the snow falls in the Northeast and the sun creeps away in Florida, I wanted to catch you
all up on a few items as Friday winds down.
Here is my latest Fox Soccer column on the MLS Labor talks. To sum up, anyone who thinks a
strike can't and won't happen is kidding themselves. It's a strong possibility and I'd bet on a
strike happening sometime in mid-March (hopefully not, but there's little reason to think a deal
gets done without a strike).
