The Galaxy have cashed in on a player who actually hasn’t been a member of the club for years: This morning LA announced they have traded the rights of Paul Arriola to D.C. United for an impressive sum of cash.

The LA Galaxy have received $500,000 in Allocation Money from D.C. United in exchange for the rights to midfielder Paul Arriola, the club announced today. As part of the deal, the Galaxy will receive $300,000 in General Allocation Monday and $200,000 in Targeted Allocation Money from United.

That’s a neat trick, but how did the front office pull it off?
