BUY NOW! http://www.cornerofthegalaxy.com/SHOP - SUBSCRIBE TO OUR PODCAST: http://cornerofthegalaxy.com/subscribe/ - COG LA GALAXY DISCORD: https://discord.gg/drr9HFZY2P COG STUDIOS, Calif. -- There was a surprise MLS Friday news dump last week. And if both the League and the LA Galaxy thought you would forget about what they said on Friday, Josh is here to tell you he hasn't forgotten. The Galaxy were punished for cheating during the 2019 season when they acquired midfielder Cristian Pavon from Argentine giants Boca Juniors. And with then-head coach Guillermo Barros Schelotto and then-General Manager Dennis te Kloese guiding those talks, how did the Galaxy and Chris Klein end up as cheaters? What legacy will Klein or anyone associated with this scandal have? And what short and long-term effects will it have on an organization already fighting for relevance within their own city? Why did the Galaxy make soccer not fun? And what should be the reaction from AEG to this communal mistrust that was perpetrated?

LA Galaxy Make Trades as Offseason Heats Up. Any Long Shots?

BUY NOW! http://www.cornerofthegalaxy.com/SHOP - SUBSCRIBE TO OUR PODCAST: http://cornerofthegalaxy.com/subscribe/ - COG LA GALAXY DISCORD: https://discord.gg/drr9HFZY2P COG STUDIOS, Calif. -- While the MLS season just ended last weekend, it already feels like old news. And the LA Galaxy are already out on the trade market, offloading some players. What does this all add up to? On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Eric Vieira discuss the Galaxy's two trades and who they might target in free agency. What kind of reaction does the Galaxy need to find from the 2023 squad? But Josh and Eric will start by acknowledging the elephant in the room. The Galaxy now play in a league where their rivals are champions of the league. What does that mean to a front office that has seen its grip on Los Angeles fall away? And what needs to happen to right the ship? Was Derrick Williams the answer at Center Back? And did Cameron Dunbar have a shot on the first team? Which young player has a chance at being the breakout star in 2023? We've got a lot to cover for an off-season show, and we think the Expansion Draft is the perfect way to talk about how Kevin Cabral will leave the club.
