Colorado Rapids made big moves to revamp their roster in the offseason, then pulled off a mid-season revamp after only a few months. The current squad remains built around MLS veterans, and with a former Union man taking over the coaching reins this club finally looks like they may be able to exploit some of the talent on its roster.
Benny Feilhaber’s brief tenure at the playmaking wheel didn’t work out, so interim head coach Conor Casey signed off on sending Feilhaber back to Sporting Kansas City in return for defensive depth. Lalas Abubakar also arrived on loan from Columbus Crew to give the Rapids four reasonable center back options between Sam Vines and Keegan Rosenberry.
