Hello Colorado Rapids fans. This week on Holding The High Line, it's MLS Deadline Day! We get caught up on all the transfers from the past week, official and expected.
First we break down the Rafael Navarro trade to St. Louis City. There's pros and cons. We discuss Rafa's legacy with Colorado Rapids and why the Rapids Math makes sense even if it's a tough decision. There's a missing piece of information given the contract extension negotiations broke down. We try to get to the bottom of this decision, which seemed unthinkable a week ago.
Sayed Abu Farkhi is official. Rabbi thinks this is a sign he's be a center forward. Red did his research on Morgan Whittaker. And we try to have some good thoughts on Ibrahim Sadiq. There's some big picture takeaways about this window, how it ended, and what the winter transfer window will look like.
Then we finally discuss the Rocky Mountain Cup. For the first time ever, the Pids have won it three years in a row. RSL were so bad. We have thoughts on Pablo Mastroeni and Diego Luna.
We talk about the news about every MLS team returning to the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup. Also KSE bought the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. We think this a bad sign for the Rapids and proves what we've known for years.
Lastly, we preview Columbus Crew and take some listener questions. #AskHTHL
