D.C. United Trades Carey Talley

6

After serving as the team's captain for the first half of the season, United has parted ways with 34-year old defender Carey Talley. He will be joining the Red Bulls in exchange for a future second round pick. I don't care if the future second round pick isn't until 2042, this is still a good trade for D.C. This is a good sign that the team is continuing to build towards the future. There was no need to keep Talley on the roster, so might as well try to get something in exchange, right? It's the timing that just seems weird to me. With Juan Manuel Pena acquiring new injuries each week and Marc Burch done for the year, our only backup central defender is now Barry Rice.
