I'd be remiss if I didn't mention this trade here on the blog. On Monday, New York traded Dwayne De Rosario to DC United for Dax McCarty. This would be a big move under any circumstance, but seems even weirder since NY just made the trade for DeRo in April.
So whats going on here? For DC, they acquire one of MLS's brightest stars. DeRo will have a chance to be the main man more in DC, and his veteran influence will be appreciated as well I'm sure. However, it must be noted that he never really clicked in NY, and it might be that at 33, his days of brilliance are getting fewer each season.
At 24, Dax definitely makes the Red Bulls younger, and he might fit in the scheme better. It's still odd though? Was DeRo not getting along in the Big Apple? However, the most obvious thing NY gets is money, Dax is a lot cheaper than DeRo. Perhaps NY will look to bring in a DP in the MF, or, I think more likely, it will free up some money so they can try to sure up in goal.
