SAN JOSE — The Earthquakes have addressed a glaring defensive need with the signing of Georgian center back Guram Kashia, the team announced Thursday.
But the central defender from Dutch club Vitesse Arnhem isn’t going to change San Jose’s fortunes for the 2018 season. The Quakes (2-9-4, 10 points) are too broken at the moment for one player to make much difference for the 2018 season.
That much was evident after a cheerless 2-2 draw Wednesday night against the New England Revolution — even as players vow to stay positive in a stressful environment.
“It’s clear to everybody that we are not the finished product yet,” team president Tom Fox said.
