D-News Article cuts

Real Salt Lake made a pair of surprising transactions Tuesday that all but guarantee that a pair of Utah natives will be on the team's opening-day roster.
RSL coach John Ellinger waived Adolfo Gregorio, Diego Walsh and Chase Harrison from the team's preseason roster Tuesday, the day before teams were required to trim their rosters to the league-mandated 28 players.
Barring any last-minute acquisitions, Judge graduate Adam Acosta and Cottonwood graduate Joey Worthen will be on the team's 28-man roster this year.
Even though RSL's roster technically has 29 players on it, the team confirmed that Seth Trembly suffered a left ACL injury last week, and will likely be placed on the season-ending injured reserve list.
Gregorio was a late-season signee last year who played in six games. RSL acquired the rights to Diego Walsh last November, but he was never guaranteed a roster spot. Harrison was the fourth goalkeeper in training camp after the team acquired him in the 2006 supplemental draft.

Thoughts?

I guess these are for the last spots on the bench so not exactly life changing decisions.

I was under the impression that Worthen got cut?

More like DC "stole" him from RSL trial. Guess that won't be a problem any more.

Walsh and Gregorio suprised me and the Trembly news is sad, at least he wasn't cut.

Ouch! Did I miss a post? I hadn't heard about this until now. Seth seemed to have the best work ethic and most energy on the team, even if he was undersized. We'll miss him!

This was posted yesterday about it...

I agree... Trembly was always good for a spark off the bench...
One of my favorite memories of last season was watching 3 foot tall, Trembly square up on 8 foot tall Ezra Hendrickson... One of the funniest things I saw last year...
Ezra backed down which made it even more funny and surreal like a lynch flick!

You could get the MLS to have a true full squad where the developmental players are part of the academy are off playing their U19, U21 games and such. Then the 26 on the roster would be players playing in the first team or at least the reserves.

I was bummed out to hear about Gregorio, too. He brought some confidence and professionalism to the team when we badly needed it last year in the disastrous mid-season. He wasn't as dependable towards the end of the season, however, and I'm sure that's why he's gone. Any word on where he might be going?
