Whitecaps trade Long Tan to D.C. United
Per a press release first seen at the D.C. United website we've learned today that DC have acquired Whitecaps FC striker Long Tan for a 1st Round Supplemental pick in the 2015 draft.
2015? Yes. I typed that. 2015.
In 2012 Tan has appeared in only four games.
Funny enough his only MLS notch in the belt came against DC United in October 2011.
Quote:
“We’re happy to have Long join our organization and will look forward to him joining the team. He's an interesting prospect and a player we feel has a future upside,” said D.C. United General Manager Dave Kasper.
The Caps also waived midfielder Floyd Franks earlier today. He had only made two MLS appearances as a substitute.
Quote:
“We are thankful for Long and Floyd’s contributions since joining the club,” said Whitecaps FC head coach Martin Rennie. “We wish both players all the best for the future.”
