The LA Galaxy completed the signing of U.S. men's national team midfielder Jermaine Jones on Wednesday, more than a month after acquiring his MLS rights from the Colorado Rapids.
The Galaxy dealt a first-round pick in the 2017 MLS SuperDraft and a conditional second-round pick in 2018 to the Rapids for the right to sign Jones, who had his contract expire at the end of 2016. Jones was signed using Targeted Allocation Money and will not be a Designated Player, according to the Galaxy's announcement. That leaves the Galaxy with two DP vacancies following the departures of Robbie Keane and Steven Gerrard.
