Wildest. MLS. Off season. Ever!

Things have been flying around fast and furious in the US domestic soccer world. Let's recap the action:

Head Coach Bob Bradley and Chivas USA trade their DP slot to New York in exchange for hot and cold midfielder Amado Guevara.

Bob Bradley becomes interim USMNT and permanent U-23 head coach after Jürgen Klinsman abruptly and shockingly withdraws his name from contention. He then leaves Chivas USA with an expensive player that only he may have been able to control.

The Colorado Rapids send previous MLS GK of the Year Joe Canon to the LA Galaxy. The Galaxy then send their previous #1 GK Kevin Hartman out to Kansas City.

Toronto FC wheels and deals with everybody. The get Jason Kreis from RSL then trade him back to them for a partial allocation. Then they pick up Adrian Serioux from Houston and trade him to FC Dallas along with some other incentives to get Ronnie O'Brien out of Big D and up into the Great White North. They also picked up Nate Jaqua from Chicago and then sent him out to the Galaxy.

Out of no where DC United trades GK Nicky Rimando and teenage phenom Freddy Adu out to Real Salt Lake from a backup GK, draft picks, and claims on money should Freddy get transferred abroad.

Steve Morrow is promoted to the head coach job at the FC Dallas club where he was an assistant under former coach Colin Clarke.

DC United assistant coach Tony Soehn is promoted to the head coaches job at DCU after Peter Nowak leaves to become an assistant under Bob Bradley for the U-23s.


There's some more things that have happened but these are the events that stick out the most to me. To be honest it's hard to keep up with the frantic pace MLS clubs seems to be doing things these days. This upcoming season will see three new head coaches (CUSA, FCD, DCU) and old faces in new places. And we've still got 3 1/2 months to go.

Twellman out, Califf, EJ, and Hot Toddy in.

Taylor Twellman took him self out of camp to help heal is groin and Bob Bradley called in Danny Califf, Eddie Johnson, and Todd Dunivant.

You may recall from yesterday I named Todd Dunivant as a notable exclusion from the camp roster. Glad to see him make it on the list.
