Laurie,

The G’s traded Harden’s rights a month or so ago to Colorado for some flank steaks, a case of scotch, and some bailing wire to attach goal nets to goal frames.

Or a second round pick in the 2010 SuperDraft.

That surprises me too, Laurie — well, that the news didn’t hit up there.

Thanks for the GA salary clarifications guys. That helps a lot!

Wait… Ty Harden’s back?!?! How did I miss this? I would have thought it would be in the Seattle press, seeing how he’s a University of Washington guy.

Omar is a GA player also.

I’m also surprised by the guaranteed compensation salary of Omar Gonzalez at $142,000.

It’s interesting to see Ty Harden on Colorado’s payroll at $34,008 which is about $4,000 more dollars than he saw with the G’s in 2007 at $30,000. I hope he made some good money on his one year leave from futbol.

Yeah, from what I’ve seen the GA salaries are always skewed high, which is one of the reasons guys like Quavas Kirk have such a hard time when their salaries count against the cap and get adjusted to their play.

Also those numbers are the max they can earn not the base.

Sesay is a GA player just like Tristan.

You’re welcome, Jen! I’m happy to contribute whatever MLS info I happen to find. I’ll have some comments on the salaries after I get back from dinner and a movie. Everyone have a great weekend!
