A Real Salt Lake blog, 2011–2013
If, by this point, you've not seen Rafa Marquez's quotes regarding his teammates, I'd implore you to do so: http://www.empireofsoccer.com/?p=3618. Marquez quite effectively illustrates a few things about the state of the MLS and about the…
It was a match of fiscal efficiency against fiscal irresponsibility: New York with their well-paid designated players, Real Salt Lake with their modest salary statement well below cap as a small market team. In the end, there was only one…

Real Salt Lake added two to its roster on deadline day: Yordany Alvarez, a midfielder who defected from Cuba in 2008, joins from Orlando City following their 2011 USL Pro championship, and Nico Muniz, a homegrown prospect from the RSL-AZ…
