Last week at the close of the MLS transfer window, the New York Red Bulls were one of the quieter teams in the league, making a single move for a teenage center back from Uruguay. For a team hovering around the red playoff line, it was a surprising lack of activity, especially since upgrades are needed at three or four spots on the field.
When Red Bull bought this team in 2006, they consistently splashed lots of money on pricey foreign imports.
