Real Salt Lake announced this morning that 24-year-old attacker Corey Baird has been traded to LAFC in exchange for $500,000 of GAM which will be doled out over the next two years. RSL also acquires an international roster slot in the deal, plus “future considerations” — though it’s unclear what that might entail.
“Corey has been an exceptional player for us over the last three years. He has contributed massively to our success on the field and in the organization. As a product of our robust Academy and development system, we are really proud of what he’s become,” said RSL GM Eliot Fall in a Real Salt Lake press release.
