Former #Rapids96 midfielder Felipe Gutiérrez signs with Al Wasi SC of the UAE Pro League. The team is based in Dubai.

The soccer Gods have just not be kind to Kortne Ford. It was announced today he ruptured his Achilles and will be out most of, if not all of the season. This guy…. He’s dealt with so much in his career. My heart hurts for this dude.

Apparently working for the Rapids prepares you well for work in Olympic sports. After Jeff Plush was fired as GM he eventually ended up running USA Curling. Tim Hinchey left for a job running USA Swimming. And Richard Fleming has just taken a new role with USA Archery.
Sources: Portland Timbers are signing veteran MLS defender Eric Miller. The 30-year-old made 24 apps with Nashville last year & can play RB or RCB.Also: Portland getting closer to adding a center forward.

I'm very happy to read that. He did strike me as someone who would land on their feet, perhaps even in a better position.

More details on this have been emerging quite interestingly..... Tom Bogert reports this: UPDATE: Original trade between Real Salt Lake & Charlotte FC fell apart & is being amended, per sources.Charlotte are still acquiring Justin Meram, but sending $200k GAM + $150k GAM add-ons to RSL. Andre Shinyashiki remaining at CLT.New trade: Meram to CLT for up to $350k GAM https://t.co/xIYedr82TL— Tom Bogert (@tombogert) April 28, 2023 Which of course is a very interesting amendment to the trade, so Shinny would be staying in Charlotte. Now this report is starting to come out: We’ve verified the following statement made on @Topbin90 with sources from the league - Shinyashiki appears to be under investigation by MLS. Which may have directly affected the trade. Original article: https://t.co/nClCQrFoXQ@kslsports | #RSL pic.twitter.com/VmgaBk77p0— RSL Show on KSL 🎙️⚡️ (@rslshow) April 28, 2023 Apparently, Shinny is under investigation, which is why the trade fell through.
update on Shiny….. https://open.substack.com/pub/charlotteledger/p/breaking-charlotte-fc-player-linked?utm_source=direct&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web
Police report linking Shinyashiki originally reported by @CltLedger.Charlotte FC told The Athletic that the club is aware of the report involving Sinyashiki but would have no further comment.https://t.co/4iLRuftwL2— Tom Bogert (@tombogert) May 3, 2023 Very odd to consider that Charlotte knew of the active investigation and were trying to trade Andre away….not a good look on any party in this situation. I’d like to address the story that came out today. I fully cooperated with Charlotte Police and MLS in their separate investigations related to the incident and no charges have been filed against me. I’ve also been cleared by MLS to play. I’ll have no further comment.— Andre Shinyashiki (@AShinyashiki9) May 2, 2023 Definitely not a good look for Andre. No charges at this time, so who knows what’s coming. He could very well be innocent. He could also very well be guilty but there’s no way to prove it at this time. I’ll reserve my full judgement of Andre until we have actual evidence/charges come out - but in the meantime, yeah. Not a good look.
