D.C. United Season Review: Alvaro Saborio

The midseason acquisition from Real Salt Lake gets goat-caked or fox-deathed.

Looking back at when D.C. United acquired Alvaro Saborio in a July trade that sent Luis Silva to Real Salt Lake, reading through the comments, I remain not completely sure what expectations that D.C. fans had of Saborio when he came here, so let me try and float some questions out there:

  • Was it the money hit that drove Sabo's expectations up? He was, after all, in the last year of a deal paying him $493,000 in guaranteed money, a deal he signed in 2013 after posting a 17-goal season when he was 30.
