The Colorado Rapids may have been happy with last season's performance, until it came to the playoffs. They were ousted in the best-of-three first round by the eventual 2024 MLS Cup champions, the LA Galaxy.
While the defending champions are currently at the bottom of the Western Conference standings, the Rapids made a series of moves to help ensure that they will stay towards the top of them. The Rapid have made four moves like their nemesis, the Portland Timbers.
Entering this weekend, Colorado is seventh in the West. Rafael Navarro has arguably been the Rapids' best player with 14 goal contributions (11 scores and three assists).
