The Colorado Rapids have gained a reputation in MLS in the last few years a reputation for taking under-played, but clearly talented, youngsters off other clubs’ rosters. Kellyn Acosta, Jonathan Lewis, and Lalas Abubakar are the best examples of “distressed assets” who were signed by the Rapids only to turn their careers around and become crucial pieces for the team.
Ahead of the 2020 season, the Rapids snapped up another distressed asset, then-Philadelphia Union center back Auston Trusty in what was a blockbuster move. Perhaps the deal was overshadowed by the Rapids permanently acquiring fan-favorite Abubakar the very same day, but the Rapids paid a very pretty penny for Trusty as much as $750,000 in league-issued Allocation Money.

DENVER (AP) Colorado on Tuesday suspended the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine while federal officials investigate reports of potentially dangerous blood clots in a handful of vaccine recipients.
Colorado s Department of Public Health and Environment announced the pause after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration said they were investigating unusual clots that occurred 6 to 13 days after vaccination. All six cases were in women between the ages of 18 and 48. There was one death.
The state health department says the J&J vaccine represents a small portion of Colorado’s weekly vaccine allocation and that most vaccine clinics will not be affected.
