The Colorado Rapids at the Transfer Deadline
The secondary transfer window for MLS is about to close. Will the Rapids make a move? Can they?
The MLS secondary transfer window closes tomorrow, August 3. That means that MLS teams may not bring a player into their team after that date, but may still cut players or transfer them out.
What might the Colorado Rapids do?
1) They could do nothing.
2) They could trade within MLS.
3) They could buy a player from outside the league and bring them in.
Let’s take a look at the roster, and then extrapolate out from there. I will also try and do the math on what cap space we might have, if any. Note that MLS doesn’t disclose GAM and TAM transactions, so there’s a fair amount of ‘known unknowns’ here.
