Noonan Ends 10-Month Stint with Crew -- MLSnet.com
Crew trades M/F Pat Noonan to the Colorado Rapids in exchange for Colorado's 2010 1st round pick and allocation money. Basically, trading him for what the Crew traded for him last year to get his rights from New England.
Pat was a great soldier, a great person to have in your locker room, and a great insurance policy for Guillermo, but his salary was too great for him to sit on the bench. Looks like the Crew is setting up for signing a nice new player with Noonan's 175k off the books and allocation money. Gonna be a lot more speculation leading up to this signing...
