As Chad mentioned, there’s a delightful rumor floating around that Sporting Kansas City is looking to replace injured Designated Player Alan Pulido with his fellow national team striker, José Juan Macias. As many of you already know, the LigaMX season is split into two tournaments. The Apertura is played over the summer and the Clausura is played in the winter. As such, the way statistics get reported are a bit different than they are for MLS and many of the European leagues. For the sake of simplicity, I’ll be using the statistics as cited on FBRef which begin in the summer (traditionally the start of European soccer), and end in the spring.
Silly Season: What would Sporting KC be getting in José Juan Macias?
