LAFC made its second major trade in less than a week Friday, sending forward Corey Baird to the Houston Dynamo for $750,000 in general allocation money and a 2022 international roster spot.
Baird, 25, a Poway native, appeared in 14 games for LAFC this season, starting nine times. He scored three goals and had two assists but hasn’t had one of either since May.
Baird spent his first three seasons with Real Salt Lake, scoring 15 goals and collecting 13 assists in 83 games before returning to Southern California in exchange for $500,000 in GAM last January.
