Real Salt Lake today announced the departure of Tino Nunez as he was waived by the club. The move leaves the club with just three natural forwards in the mix.
In addition, the team announced another season-long loan for Alex Nimo to the Portland Timbers. These two moves will free up two roster spots which theoretically could put the team in line with the 24-man roster. However, with the much discussed possible addition of Costa Rican forward Alvaro Saborio, they would likely still need to make an additional move to become roster compliant. If you followed our last post on this topic, you’d know that our bet would be one out of the trio of David Horst, Rauwshan McKenzie, and Chris Schuler or Raphael Cox.
No new news on the Saborio front but we’ll let you know as soon as we hear something.
On the CBA front, a more serious threat of strike potential according to the Soccer Insider. However, this was tempered by news later in the day from the site of the negotiations that “the meetings were productive.”
