The Colorado Rapids made some decisions in the off-season that raised some eyebrows, but a couple of key additions have proven key in a surprising start to their 2016 season.
The upcoming season didn't look very promising for the Rapids going into the 2016 campaign: having failed to reach the playoffs, and never even really challenging for a spot in the competitive MLS Western Conference, things weren't very good to begin with. However, the state of the club would only worsen with two key departures: both Drew Moor and Clint Irwin left to Toronto FC in the offseason.
