The Columbus Crew currently sit atop the Major League Soccer table early in the season, so of course, the Black & Gold are in the news for something other than their play to start the season. After not starting in each of the Crew’s first three games to open the year, it was reported on Monday night by MLSsoccer.com insider Tom Bogert that Columbus is open to trading United States Men’s National Team forward Gyasi Zardes.
Last week, various internet and soccer pundits speculated that Zardes should be traded, given that head coach Caleb Porter chose to start third-year striker Miguel Berry in his place to begin the season.
