The rumored Zac MacMath loan was made official today. In exchange the Union get our lowest second round pick in the upcoming draft. Details of who is picking up his salary (or if its split) and which roster he'll take a roster spot on were not revealed. If the Rapids make the transfer permanent at the end of the season it will cost us our top pick in the 2016 Superdraft.
I still think this is an unnecessary move and an added cost the team doesn't need to take on. Its certainly not the "difference-maker" type of move that we've been waiting for.

MacMath to Colorado?
andGetting word goalkeeper-heavy @PhilaUnion preparing to trade @ZacMacMath (95 league starts past 3 years) to @ColoradoRapids
RE: the Goff report, I've heard it may be a loan to Colorado. We'll see what happens.
So that's interesting, and not in a good way. In my opinion MacMath is not much of, if any, improvement over Clint Irwin and made 33K more than him last season. I can't see a scenario where it makes sense to get MacMath as a backup, nor can I see Irwin being happy as a backup. So the only reason to make this move is to push Irwin out. Given the myriad of problems this team has, most notably a porous backline that hasn't been greatly improved yet and a total of 4 true midfielders currently signed, I hope we're not spending effort and resources improving the one position that could probably stay unchanged going into 2015.
