You wait a whole offseason for just one, and then.....

The Eddie-for-Edson deal has mercifully been consummated, after 7 years and 34 days of waiting. Farewell to one enigmatic local product, hello to another. The draft-day sins of Octavio Zambrano have finally been exculpated...sort of.

Is J.P Peguero a Red now? That was the rumor on MF this morning, courtesy of Kristian Dyer, former nynjsoccer.com and current ESPN man. But we're coming up on a day with no confirmation, so maybe this was just a contingency deal, something like the original Buddle-Gaven draft-day swap that never was.

But look, there's another signing. This one, not so earth-shaking. Welcome to the Metro Reds, career Metro reserve teamer Jerrod Laventure! Now that you're off the rolling 3 day contracts ("The O'Neill Peart special"), maybe that credit rating inches up high enough for you to secure a Capital One Tin Card. Maybe. No end to what you can do with a 16 dollar limit.
