In case you were wondering if there would be any miraculous recoveries for Real Salt Lake players this week, it appears the answer is no, as we’ve just learned that the club has called up two players under the extreme hardship rule in MLS.
Those two players are both named Pierre, which is funny in a wide, cosmic sense. Bobby Pierre and Pierre Reedy are joining the first team from Real Monarchs because Real Salt Lake has fewer than 16 outfield players available.
To avoid confusion, I’ll just use their full names in reference here. I know, I know, I’m breaking all the rules.
