The Columbus Crew’s scoring problems in the 2022 Major League Soccer season are well documented. Through 15 games played this year, the Crew has just 18 goals scored, fifth-worst in the Eastern Conference, and the team has been shut out seven times.
Over the last week, the Black & Gold made a move to remedy that problem, making a record signing for Watford FC forward Cucho Hernandez. But Hernandez is just arriving in Columbus this week and can’t play for the Crew until the secondary MLS transfer window opens on July 7.
