I'm disappointed in the people dismissing Dax like this.  There's something to be said for the off the field stuff he brought to the club.  Just a great all around guy that people enjoyed rooting for, which isn't so easily replaced.  And even if you felt he was in a decline, I don't see how 200k of allocation money they're just gonna use to buy down someone else's contract for the next two years is a good deal.

from what "Remy" told me on twitter...

the oyongo-alexander for felipe trade occurred, with the sacha being selected in that other draft allocation happened pretty quickly.

Who am I kidding, anyone who's been around long enough to be fed up with all the crap is too old and tired to cause any trouble, and most fans of recent vintage think everything the Austrians do is just swell. RED BULL SPONSORS MY BOY NADESHOT BRAH!

Metro legend. One of the all time greats for the club. Sad day. He will be missed.

I think the writing was on the wall when Dax got hurt last season and Davis filled in admirably. I think most of us will end up missing the person Dax was more than the player. I'm going to miss the Spanish announcer calling him the "Ginga Ninja." I'm going to miss the passion he brought to this team. With all that said, I'm also excited for the Baby Bulls to get their chance to shine. Thank You Dax for your service!

January is a tough month for our legends.


We are good enough to beat the best teams, and bad enough to lose to the worst teams.

January 2018, we might have to go through this again with someone else, I think.

This is a salary dump. They know Davis can slot in there and also give time to Adams.  But they won't be splashing this cash, we're already way under the cap.

Does the front office view Davis as an adequate replacement or do they feel he's the better option? If it's the latter, the trade starts to feel ok. Dax is not a bench player at this point and if Davis was going to put him there, trading Dax makes sense.

They get the benefit of the doubt for the time being, but if all they have to show for themselves are more academy signings a month from now, I fully expect pitchforks and torches marching toward the gates of Red Bull Arena.

Correct. At one point, I could move. Now I'm just immobile...

That move would be much harder to swallow.

A day later and it feels like Dax retired. Chicago (up there with the Dynamo) is the most non-existent MLS franchise ever. Poop team, old and boring stadium, perrenial suckage.

Also I don't understand why the club is trying to start a #ThankYouDax hashtag. That is something you use after the guy retires or decides to move on to another team. If they really wanted to thank him they never would have traded him. Seems goofy from the club's PR department.

The Fire won the MLS Cup as well as the U.S. Open Cup (the "double") on their first season. They have also won U.S. Open Cups in 2000, 2003, and 2006; in addition to the 2003 MLS Supporters' Shield.

Who is that? SK16 is entering the final year of his deal. I would assume he is most definitely worth keeping if he has a season this year comparable to last season. His game isn't built remotely on speed and he likely has a longer shelf life, but is still 31 at the moment.
