Can some big roster decisions make it a fortress again? Do you feel like 2021 needs a redo? I almost do! COG STUDIOS, Calif. -- The LA Galaxy are being thrust into offseason mode much too quickly. With the MLSPA releasing their list of Free Agents for the 2022 season, decisions are going to be made very soon on the futures of several Galaxy players that have called LA home for a while. Hosts Josh Guesman and Eric Vieira are back to get you prepped for an offseason that won't have a ton of flexibility, but the Galaxy are hoping for familiarity to avoid another sad, beautiful, tragic season at Dignity Health Sports Park. But we're considering ourselves the lucky one to be here explaining what the Galaxy need to take into consideration when it comes to veteran players who do more than their time on the field would suggest. Can the Galaxy afford to bring back guys like Sacha Kljestan and Victor Vazquez knowing that as their bodies age everything has changed? This is just the first of many roster discussions Josh and Eric will be having in the offseason and they're also sprinkling in some stats on the improvement of the team from 2020 and maybe why that shouldn't be considered apples to oranges. How many goals better was the Galaxy's defense? And how many points of improvement should you expect in 2022? We've got a lot of details to share, and we'll tell you why Larry Morgan and Cog are never ever getting back together. Thanks for joining us on a very special night, and hopefully this won't be the last time we see you. A new season is already upon us. It's time to begin again!

But they held an interesting press conference that was full of "accountability" and then didn't signal any significant changes headed your way. On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Eric Vieira discuss many different topics, but it's not exactly going to be rainbows and unicorns. The guys will start with announcing the Galaxy Team Awards and put Cristian Pavon's season into perspective. Later in the show, there's some more transfer talk surrounding Pavon, and it's important to note that there seems to have been a sizeable shift in position from both the Galaxy and Boca Juniors. Does that mean Pavon could be staying with the Galaxy? Josh and Eric will then dive into the postseason press conference that had Galaxy President Chris Klein discuss the many ways that the club got it all wrong. But are there any suggestions on how they're going to fix it? Does the tone seem different than after the failures of the 2017 and 2018 seasons? And have the Galaxy, at any time since Bruce Arena left, kept pace with the rest of the league? We'll admit it! It's a pessimistic view of the Galaxy's future, but what are there reasons to be optimistic when the same things keep happening? The guys will also get you updated on the state of contracts on the Galaxy before bringing you the offseason dates that are just around the corner. The bottom line is that the Galaxy are already having to make decisions about their future, and they don't have a head coach to help with that. We've got a packed show, and we're thrilled that you could join us this season. We're looking forward to keeping you updated in the offseason. Keep us close! Changes are coming for this club! But will they be the right changes?
