Sunday night’s announcement that FC Dallas is looking to trade prized Homegrown midfielder Kellyn Acosta to the Colorado Rapids in exchange for forward Dominic Badji (and some other assets) sent shock waves through the fanbase and across MLS.
As we get into a new week and likely a new era with this team post-Kellyn, it is worth diving into this deal to see really what FC Dallas is getting out of this and why it actually makes sense to get rid of a player like Acosta.
Contract is over at the end of 2018
Last year was the Year of Kellyn in most of our eyes up until about July when the entire team began to crap the bed on the field.
