In the immense and vaunted history of New England Revolution Designated Players...
No, no...I can’t finish that sentence. Let’s be very honest. Two of the best DP’s in Revs history are currently playing for New England right now. This is a good thing, cause there’s a lot of not great memories on the rest of that DP list beside montages of Jose Goncalves shielding balls out of bounds.
But in particular, the last two times the Revs had a serious turnaround in form midseason, it came on the backs of a major signing. And/or a major firing depending on your point of view.
