The transfer window will be opening soon, and some MLS teams are looking to make moves.


Perhaps in anticipation of the transfer window, the Columbus Crew and FC Dallas have completed a trade, the teams announced Friday in a press release. Columbus traded a 2013 international roster slot in exchange for Dallas' fourth-round pick in the 2014 Supplemental Draft, which suggests that FCD head coach Schellas Hyndman has at least one addition in his cross hairs.
