Why the Colorado Rapids traded Kei Kamara: “It was time to go our separate ways”

The Rapids have scored multiple goals in only one match since MLS restarted play earlier this month. Yet on Friday the club traded striker Kei Kamara to Minnesota for a bundle of assets.

Why did the Rapids send away Kamara, the league’s fifth all-time leading scorer, when they need goals?

The answer: The Rapids feel as though they already have replaced Kamara — a 36-year-old forward on the final year of his contract who didn’t play in either of Colorado’s matches this week and has only started once in the last six games.
