Arturo Alvarez of FC Dallas was traded to the San Jose Earthquakes in exchange for allocation money and first round pick in the 2009 Superdraft. The Earthquakes are the team that originally drafted AA in 2003.

Coach Cobra Kai is obviously making changes, and San Jose needs a striker so maybe this is a win-win. On the other hand, Dallas better be bringing a slew of guys into town because they are losing a lot of players at once.
