To make room for the 34-year-old Lewis on their 18-man senior roster, the Galaxy traded forward Carlos Ruiz to Toronto FC for first and second-round selections in next year's MLS supplemental draft and salary budget considerations. "I strongly believe that Eddie Lewis will be an outstanding addition to the Galaxy," Bruce Arena, the new general manager and coach of the Galaxy, said in a statement. "He brings great experience to the club and will be a wonderful addition to our locker room and is a player that the fans are sure to support. "Unfortunately, the sport of soccer is also a business and in order to bring Eddie to the Galaxy, we were required to make salary budget space available, and our only available option was to move Carlos." The Galaxy held the top spot in the MLS allocation table, and used that position to acquire Lewis. Contract terms weren't disclosed. Full article.
