LA Galaxy trade MLS Cup MVP Gastón Brugman to Nashville, 12 days after winning the title

Associated Press  

CARSON, Calif. — The LA Galaxy traded MLS Cup Final MVP Gastón Brugman to Nashville on Thursday, just 12 days after the Uruguayan midfielder led the club to its record sixth league championship. Brugman was named the MVP of MLS’ championship match for his splendid performance filling in for injured star Riqui Puig in the Galaxy’s 2-1 victory over the New York Red Bulls on Dec. 7. “To maintain a championship-caliber roster in Major League Soccer, teams are often forced to make difficult contractual decisions, and today’s trade is evidence of that” Galaxy general manager Will Kuntz said in a statement. He made countless contributions to the Galaxy on the field and in the locker room during his time with the club, and none was more important than his 2024 MLS Cup MVP performance earlier this month.” Davis has five goals and 27 assists in 263 career MLS appearances for the Red Bulls and Nashville.
