Rapids trade F Michael Barrios to Galaxy

The Colorado Rapids traded veteran forward Michael Barrios to the Los Angeles Galaxy on Thursday.

In exchange, the Rapids received the Galaxy's 2024 first-round pick and up to $50,000 in conditional 2024 general allocation money based on Barrios reaching certain performance metrics this season.

"We're grateful to Mikey for his many contributions to the club during his time with us," Rapids president Padraig Smith said. "He played a key role in our club-record rise to the top of the West in 2021 and was a model representative of our club off the pitch. We wish him nothing but the best as he embarks on this next stage of his career."

Barrios, 32, joined the Rapids ahead of the 2021 season and recorded 12 goals and 16 assists in 87 MLS matches (51 starts).

The Colombia native has recorded 43 goals and 61 assists in 266 matches (207 starts) with FC Dallas (2015-20) and Colorado.
