With the San Jose Earthquakes’ search for a new general manager stretching into another calendar year, there has been a paucity of roster moves ahead of the 2017 MLS season. In fact, as the Quakes wait to announce their choice of GM, the only experienced player addition since the close of their fourth straight season without a trip to the MLS Cup playoffs was picking up discarded Real Salt Lake forward Olmes Garcia in the second stage of the re-entry draft back in mid-December.
Sure, the club also added Cal defender Nick Lima as a Homegrown Player signing, but the former Academy product and Burlingame Dragons star has yet to play a professional game.
