It's been an extra eventful off season across the board, with several players departing for Europe, a handful of teams rebuilding after a rough 2012, and clubs like Real Salt Lake scrambling to assemble quality rosters for a lot less money. But has any team had a more interesting (or weirder) off season than Chivas USA? First there were the comments from head coach Chelís that seemed to indicate that the Chivas of the future was going to be more Mexican, possibly sort of a Chivas de Guadalajara feeder club. Then he made Dan Kennedy captain and it seemed like maybe the concerns were overblown. But now Chivas has resumed selling off many of the non-Mexican players so...what the heck, Chivas?
