During the second half of the US Open Cup Final broadcast, Taylor Twellman very casually brought up that he wouldn’t be surprised if Carlos Ruiz signed with FC Dallas within the next 48-72 hours. Obviously this sent the interwebs in a frenzy as Twellman has made a reputation of being insanely reliable with breaking news. It also left fans befuddled with what to do with that information, right before us was a Cup final that we wanted to focus on but the possibility of bringing back “Pescadito” was salivating.
Carlos Ruiz spent three seasons with FC Dallas from 2005-2007, and was the team’s leading talisman for those seasons with 11, 13 and 7 goals respectively.
