I won’t even try to hide the ball: Dave Kasper had himself a good 2016. A very good 2016, in fact.
Before we go through the GM’s year, though, let’s take stock of where D.C. United are heading into 2017. They have a United States men’s national team centerback locked down for most of his prime years. Three starting-quality wide midfielders are vying for two spots. The starting forward spot looks set with a young American talent. And the centerpiece is a 23-year-old Argentine attacking midfielder who brings flair and cheek along with the goals and assists and who grew into the role over the course of his first MLS season.
