COLUMBUS – The Columbus Crew SC surprised fans Thursday by suddenly trading away high-scoring forward Kei Kamara to the New England Revolution for cash and draft picks.
Kamara recorded 22 regular-season goals and posted 135 shots in 2015 but reportedly clashed with a teammate on the field during a match.
In exchange for Kamara, the Crew will receive New England’s highest first round MLS SuperDraft pick in 2017 and its highest second round pick in 2018 along with additional compensation.
The Crew will take on the Colorado Rapids Sat., May 14 (7:30 p.m. /The CW Columbus, Time Warner Cable SportsChannel, BCSN2).
