The Rapids have scored multiple goals in only one match since MLS restarted play earlier this month. Yet on Friday the club traded striker Kei Kamara to Minnesota for a bundle of assets.
Why did the Rapids send away Kamara, the league’s fifth all-time leading scorer, when they need goals?
The answer: The Rapids feel as though they already have replaced Kamara — a 36-year-old forward on the final year of his contract who didn’t play in either of Colorado’s matches this week and has only started once in the last six games.
