MLS has already seen some blockbuster moves this offseason, like Djordje Mihailovic being traded to Montreal Impact and Alex Ring to Austin FC, but the Colorado Rapids haven’t added any new players yet this offseason.
That seems set to change, as Rapids General Manager Padraig Smith recently said in an interview with Burgundy Wave that the club was looking for “a really intelligent forward who can potentially start wide, but knows how to stretch the field, can get behind defenses, has real pace, and—most importantly—is goal dangerous.”
While there are literally hundreds of strikers that fit this description, a few candidates instantly came to my mind.
