Sporting Kansas City Manager Peter Vermes joined The Border Patrol on Thursday from Tucson, Arizona, where his team is unbeaten through five preseason matches. In an interview with Nate Bukaty and Steven St. John, the eighth-year head coach assessed Sporting KC's readiness for the 2016 regular season and praised the performance of the Swope Park Rangers, who are unbeaten through three games at the Desert Diamond Cup.
Among the topics of discussion, Vermes confirmed that the club is actively pursuing a new striker ahead of the 2016 campaign.
"There's no way that [Dom Dwyer] is going to play all 34 games in the regular season," Vermes said.
