The Colorado Rapids on Sunday traded goalkeeper Zac MacMath to the Vancouver Whitecaps for midfielder Nicolas Mezquida and $100,000 in targeted allocation money.
Mezquida, 26, appeared in 101 games for Vancouver from 2014-18, recording 12 goals and four assists.
“He is a creative and dangerous playmaker who fits well into our playing philosophy of dominating ball possession and pressing high up the pitch,” Rapids executive vice president and general manager Pádraig Smith said in a news release.
MacMath, 27, played with Colorado the past four years, appearing in 31 games, starting 30. He had a record of 12-12-7.
“Zac is a top professional and has been an important part of our club over the last few years. His performances on the field and his commendable work in the community will not be forgotten,” Smith said in the release.
