The Kei Kamara era in Columbus has reached an abrupt end as Crew SC traded the forward to the New England Revolution.
ESPN analyst Taylor Twellman was the first to report the news, and the teams announced it on Thursday morning. The deal was finalized just minutes before the closing of the MLS primary transfer after midnight.
Crew SC will receive a record amount of allocation money in the trade, a source told ESPN FC, as well as New England's highest first round SuperDraft pick in 2017, second round pick in 2018 and an international roster spot for the 2016 season.
