COG STUDIOS, Calif. — The LA Galaxy have landed Chicharito and have to say goodbye to Romain Alessandrini in the same week. And while the two happenings are not related, it’s essential to understand the success one had and the promise the other brings.

On today’s show, your hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter are back to discuss all the details of both situations and give you the latest Galaxy news as well.

The guys will start by talking about the impact Alessandrini had on the Galaxy and how he was the lone bright spot in a horrific 2017 season. But it’s also about his success in 2018 and why injuries ultimately made him too expensive to keep in a restricted salary structure.
