With the first roster decisions of the new year official, we've got a lot of questions. On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter go over the roster decisions, talk about what the Galaxy had to say in the end-of-year exit interviews, and look at an award season that highlighted the best of the Galaxy in 2025. But is everyone on the same page as the Galaxy enter into some vital roster rebuilding? What does the Christian Ramirez signing say about the state of the strikers, and will Diego Fagundez be back in LA after his option was declined? We've got a lot to get to as we catch back up with the Galaxy in the midst of rebuilding a roster after a disastrous season. Let's talk! -- Corner of the Galaxy is kicking off Season 17, just a few shows past number 1,250! And we can't wait to show you everything we've got in store for 2025!

The LA Galaxy are watching the post-season from the sidelines, but that doesn't mean we can't find some Galaxy news to talk about. So, let's get to it. Hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter discuss the wacky playoff format and why MLS misses the mark with these three-game series. The guys will also talk about the departure of Javier Hernandez, the contract of Riqui Puig, and what the Galaxy might be shopping for. Plus, the guys will break down some rumors before calling it a show.

It's another packed offseason show as we bring you lots of Vancouver Whitecaps and MLS chat. We look at the big talking points from the past week in Whitecapsland as the rumours about Lucas Cavallini coming to Vancouver have not only grown arms and legs, but a body too. Will he come? Is it a good move? And how will he fit into the team and MLS? We also look at Marc Dos Santos getting fined for criticising the league and sit down for a lengthy 45 minute chat with the Whitecaps' new Sporting Director Axel Schuster about the direction and plan for the club heading into the 2020's. We also continue our section to pick our Whitecaps of the current decade, the 2010's, looking at the midfield this week and struggling to nail down our final four. Let us know if you agree.

It's a time for trophy presentations and champions to be crowned, but for Vancouver Whitecaps, it's a time to get themselves better. It's another important offseason for the 'Caps, one in which they need to make significant improvements to try and become a playoff team again. The spotlight and the pressure is on head coach Marc Dos Santos as he scours the globe looking for the players to make all that happen. He joins AFTN this week for an in-depth 45 minute chat about Whitecaps past, present, and future. Where did it all go wrong this year? How much has he questioned himself? What state is the club currently in? How does he go ahead rebuilding the squad and where may we see the new additions coming from and fitting in? All this and a lot, lot more are covered.

Offseason. What offseason? It's a busy time in Whitecapsland and in the world of MLS and Canadian football in general, and we've got it all covered as usual in this week's episode. As the 'Caps and others in MLS revealed which player options were and weren't picked up, we look at what Vancouver players will likely be here next season and which ones definitely won't. Are those not coming back more telling of the kind of team Marc Dos Santos wants to build rather than those that are?
