D.C. United traded forward Patrick Mullins to the Columbus Crew in exchange for $150,000 in targeted allocation money. The club announced the trade on Wednesday.
“This move will provide us with assets and flexibility for future moves,” Dave Kasper, United’s general manager and vice president of soccer operations, said in a statement. “We wish Mullins the best in Columbus and thank him for his service to the club.”
Mullins, a 26-year-old forward, started only two MLS games for D.C. this year. He played 225 minutes in 10 games and did not score. He had a larger role with United the last two seasons, starting 12 games both years.
