If you are like me, you\u2019ve probably been wondering when some MLS trade news would kick up with the end of June passing us by on the calendar. Fear not, now that the pages on the calendar have turned over to July, some news is starting to creep in for FC Dallas. <\/p>\n

The Athletic\u2019s Tom Bogert is reporting on Wednesday that FC Dallas has emerged as a trade partner with the San Jose Earthquakes to acquire goalkeeper Daniel. <\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been meaning to get to my \u201careas FC Dallas needed to focus on this summer\u201d piece and addressing the goalkeeper depth was actually going to make that list. But in all honesty, it wasn\u2019t going to be a high spot on my list. I thought getting another depth piece as the third keeper in the system made sense due to how well both Michael Collodi and Jonathan Sirois have played this season.<\/p>\n

Adding a keeper like Daniel is very intriguing. He\u2019s got a green card, so there won\u2019t be any need to trade for an international roster slot to add him. <\/p>\n

In terms of salaries, the Brazilian keeper isn\u2019t cheap. He earns nearly $800k in total compensation, though his current contract runs through the 2026 season with options for the next two years. We will have to wait and see what kind of details emerge on this trade to see if San Jose is taking on any of Daniel\u2019s salary. <\/p>\n

For me, it looks like Dallas is possibly adding him as either a short-term rental for the rest of this season. Though, I could see this as one that could be also for next year\u2019s sprint season in 2027. <\/p>\n

Currently this season, the 32-year old has started 14 games and has picked up 5 clean sheets and 46 saves. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"If you are like me, you\u2019ve probably been wondering when some MLS trade news would kick up with…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":382475,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[88,90,89],"class_list":["post-382474","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-jose","tag-san-jose","tag-san-jose-headlines","tag-san-jose-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/382474","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=382474"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/382474\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/382475"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=382474"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=382474"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=382474"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
