Revs 2015 Roster Takes Shape
Tuesday, December 09, 2014
UPDATE: New England Revolution President Brian Bilello sent out a tweet stating the Revolution made a trade with Orlando City Soccer Club and New York City FC which will result in an agreement that will have Diego Fagundez not be drafted in Wednesday's expansion draft. The terms of the trade were not disclosed. Fagundez will remain with the Revolution in 2015.
Trade With Colorado
The first move of a busy afternoon for Jay Heaps and general manager Mike Burns was a trade with the Colorado Rapids for goalkeeper Joe Nasco. The Revs sent forwards Geoffrey Castillion and Dimitry Imbongo to the Rapids in exchange for Nasco. The teams also traded picks in the 2015 MLS SuperDraft. The Rapids will receive a 2nd round pick while the Revs will take back a 3rd round pick.
Player Options Declined
The Revolution also did not extend a contract offer to defender Stephen McCarthy, who is now without a contract.
Reports also indicate that the Revolution are in contract extension talks with defender A.J. Soares, goalkeeper Brad Knighton and forward Teal Bunbury. The remainder of the roster has guaranteed options or had their options picked up by the team.
