The LA Galaxy announced late Wednesday they have acquired defender Chase Gasper in a trade with Minnesota United. In exchange for Gasper, LA sent Minnesota $450,000 in 2023 general allocation money. In addition, if Gasper meets unnamed performance metrics, the Galaxy will send an additional $300,000 in GAM to the Loons. Gasper is under contract through 2025, and the Galaxy will pay a portion of Gasper’s salary, $220,000, while Minnesota will take on the rest for this season.
“We’re excited to welcome Chase to the LA Galaxy,” said LA Galaxy Head Coach Greg Vanney in a team statement.
