I am putting myself to the fullest possible use, which is all I think that any conscious entity can ever hope to do.
I'll edit when the non-paywalled sources get to it but...

Diego Fagundez to the Galaxy for Memo Rodrigues and 300k GAM and up to 900k GAM (I assume there's performance targets or something).

I'm not sure how I feel about this one. Naturally, LA was always going to have to pay through the nose for anyone in a position of need, like winger, but I still feel like it'll end up being a bad trade.

Fingers crossed I'm wrong.

edit: Officially official. LA could get up to another 150k GAM if Memo hits performance metrics. ATX gets up to 600k if Fagundez does.

columbus got their 5 year younger replacement. Nice signing

a bunch of other signings in tom's twitter. Laryea to Vancouver, Atlanta picked up some Georgian (heh) winger as a DP. A few more u22 south americans

The Galaxy have been real busy:

Maya Yoshida (CB most recently with Schalke) official
Michael Barrios (we all know him as an "eh" journeyman MLS striker) official
and Bogert is reporting (LA has made it official) Edwin Cerrillo (D-mid from FCD's academy).

All for... honestly, not terrible prices. Considering the circumstances, I'm actually pretty impressed.

edit: Also, Puig is probably on his way out. End of the year, for sure, but, maybe earlier.

Maya Yoshida is still getting caps for Japan and was captain last World Cup from memory, he should still be alright if paired with somebody to do the hard running.

Another business article on the MLS/AppleTV deal. Few interesting blurbs:

*The league mandating teams have their old TV deals expire by this year was really good in hindsight because the Regional Sports Network model is crashing super-duper hard right now.
*Supposedly Apple got 1M subscribers before Messi
*Apple is currently only doing year-to-year deals with advertisers and has sold all their spots for the year (which means no escaping that goddamn Whitney Houston song this season :shepicide:).

Man these Apple TV commentators are absolute worse. I’m more used to commentators in other countries that basically just give a play by play as it happens and leave out the “nUmbEr onE pLayeR IN tHe WoRld!” and “here are some obscure statistics that nobody in their right mind would ever care about” that US commentators seem to do.

Like… you don’t have to fill up every minute of the game with commentary. It can be silent if nothings happening you know???

Smyrniotis would at least be interesting but in evaluating him I have trouble getting past the fact that Forge are basically the only CPL team with money so their threepeat is Not A Surprise

ie TFC should definitely hire him, perfect resume, no notes

That's pretty much all American sports commentary with NFL being some of the worst. The only sport it kind of works is baseball since there is so much dead time between pitches.
