Red Bulls deal De Rosario to DC for McCarty in stunner
Conference rivals exchange midfielders in surprise trade NEW YORK — The New York Red Bulls abruptly parted ways with veteran Dwayne De Rosario on Monday, dealing the five-time MLS Best XI selection to rivals D.C. United for midfielder Dax McCarty. De Rosario was traded to New York from Toronto FC on April 1 to fill the Red Bulls’ missing playmaker role, but he failed to mirror the offensive numbers he’d amassed in years past for Houston and Toronto FC. Although not necessarily relied upon for the same offensive output as in years past — Red Bulls striker Thierry Henry is tied for the league lead with eight goals and Luke Rodgers has five this season — De Rosario has struggled to make an impression on a team where he’s not the main attacking option. www.mlssoccer.com/news/article/2011/06/27/red-bulls-deal-de-rosario-dc-mccarty

De Rosario welcomes pressure, ready to step in for DC
Canadian gets to work at United, will likely make immediate debut WASHINGTON — D.C. United wasted little time figuring out how to best incorporate new addition Dwayne De Rosario during his first training session with his new team Thursday morning. The five-time All Star took part in a practice that included a full-field scrimmage, playing in midfielder between Clyde Simms and the forward pairing of Charlie Davies and Josh Wolff. There’s every reason to believe the midfielder will play a role against Philadelphia on Saturday night (7 pm, Fox Soccer). www.mlssoccer.com/news/article/2011/06/30/de-rosario-welcomes-pressure-ready-step-dc
