As you may have heard by now, Orlando City made some waves in the trade market on Thursday by sending two-time USL MVP Kevin Molino and goalkeeper Patrick McLain to Minnesota United for a record-tying amount of allocation money — $650,000 ($450,000 in GAM and $200,000 in TAM).
The Original now rejoins his former gaffer, Adrian Heath, in Minnesota after an impressive season last year coming off of a torn ACL in 2015. Last year, Molino scored 11 goals and put up eight assists in 30 appearances (26 starts).
It’s a big move — one of the largest deals in MLS history — that leaves plenty to talk about.
