LA Galaxy send Jon Kempin to Columbus, pass on Waiver Draft

In the span of a few hours, two former LA Galaxy keepers have moved on.

This morning Jon Kempin was traded to Columbus for a fourth round pick (90th overall) in the 2018 MLS SuperDraft. The Galaxy then chose to pass on a listless Waiver Draft in which only two selections were made.

Unfortunately, one of those picks was Senegalese national goalkeeper Clement Diop, a native French speaker who should feel at home in Montreal. Despite showing glimpses of quality, the acrobatic shot-stopper never managed to find the consistency required to warrant extended playing time, suffering a decline in form this past season.
