There's a link to another article within this one that clearly states Colon will claim Galvan's time with injury (which had him out of service from March to December, 2019) should be considered as an extension to his current contract, bringing him through "another season" with Colon. In addition a second option of protest is to sue some Agustín Marioni, who appears to have represented Galvan (or the club... not sure) in this transaction and is supposedly not registered with the Argentine Football Association, or FIFA.... claiming it to be a criminal offense. However the end of the article states the following "While this is the idea with [Colon] leadership, the most likely thing is that they know this recourse has little chance of success, because everything favors the player in this type of operations" This .
For those with an Athletic subscription: https://theathletic.com/1540024/202...he-rapids-way-a-reality?source=shared-article Love how it starts by pointing out the oped as "infamous in MLS circles". A decent recap and perspective about how the new signings finally get to this place. It also quotes Smith as saying the Rapids are done with the roster, excepting for maybe a few minor tweaks. I think we all figured that to be the case, but the quote confirms. Frankly, I hope to see more Rapids coverage like this. Makes me feel like we are a real team.
Why is a player so young available on a free? Seems odd that he'd go to the Rapids at that. (Who was talking about lowered expectations above? If he's coming to us, I assume he's not good...)
Yep. Appears to me a mistake on their part. Which is fine by me, RFO did a good job of tracking status and swooping in. Or perhaps keeping a relationship with the agent to know when to swoop in. Either way, appears we have benefited from another's lapse.
Blacked out, and before the holidays they removed the placeholder for the Altitude channel (for the first two months Altitude was still in the channel guide but with no programming listed. Now the channel isn't even listed).
Does this mean they are going to be shopping Bassett soon? I honestly really like our acquisitions, but they also leave Bassett as kind of an odd man out of the lineup. He’ll be a great player off the bench, sure, but if you’re wanting to develop and sell, players gotta get minutes too. I know there will be tough stretches of the season where we will need to rotate heavily, and we now have great depth to do it. But now, we have a wealth of riches of sorts, and players like Bassett, Anderson, and now Galvan, etc, may not get the in game development like they did last year. It’s a good problem to have though, that’s for sure.
Feels like they have already been shopping Bassett given some of the side-trainings he seems to be doing. (I know many on this board would know more about it than me, I am just going off what I hear.).
Still blacked out on ESPN+. Short of using a VPN to get around the ESPN+ location detection your only other option is to find a bar that has it.
That sucks. The first couple of games I am in the mountains and may not be subject to black out. I can't remember.
Didn't directv sign an agreement? Will look in a little while, maybe I will have to do watch parties at my house!
I have DirecTV and I can get Altitude down here in the Springs. You can host the Denver watch parties and I'll host some down here.

Funny Denver Post just put this up. https://www.denverpost.com/2020/01/17/comcast-altitude-dispute-avalanche-nuggets-fans/ Offers several sides to dispute but not much on when this might end.
So i am delighted with how the off season has been. I am interested to see how we stack up compared to other teams tho. It seems a lot of teams are investing heavily. I would imagine Nashville will struggle. Outside of them, i have literally no idea where we fall in terms of quality. Are we as good as a Portland and chasing 4/5th? Or are we chasing a 7th place playoff spot?
Except when you said outside of a vpn the only other option is finding a bar. Directv is an option for those that have it or access through a friend.
