Goodbye Felipe

Following up on the tails of a holiday weekend - and the Club’s first win in just about as long as anyone can remember - the Vancouver Whitecaps made some serious waves on Tuesday morning. Not only did the Club formalize the loan of Michaell Chirinos, but they also parted ways with one of the most divisive players in recent memory. In a rather out-of-the-blue trade, the Whitecaps shipped midfielder Felipe Martins to DC United in exchange for 75K in TAM as well as an international roster spot in 2020. While Felipe’s on field production was from its inception a source of debate within the Whitecaps fan base, there are two things that can never be questioned: his genuine kindness with all those that he met, and his intense passion and dedication to his craft.
