Los Angeles Galaxy send Ricketts to Montreal Impact

I know what you’re thinking… Ricketts!?! How did LA send a deficient metabolism of vitamin D, magnesium, phosphorus or calcium to Montreal?

Okay, maybe you aren’t thinking that. Perhaps you’re thinking the Los Angeles Galaxy traded former goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts to the expansion Montreal Impact.

If you were, you are correct. The Galaxy will get “straight (Allocation Money) cash homie” in return.

The 2010 Goalkeeper of the Year, Ricketts, was an All-Star in 2009 and 2010. He was also the goalkeeper on Jamaica’s national team.

Ricketts lost the starting job to Josh Saunders after playing for Jamaica.

Allocation money can be used to sign players or allocate against their contracts, according to The Associated Press, to get under the salary cap.
