I don’t get to combine words with charts as often as I’d like these days, but I heard something on the broadcast of the #NERevs loss at Portland…

Specifically that NE was “2-3 players away from the turnaround really going Caleb Porter’s way”

I decided to dig in on that claim.

🇺🇸 Sources: New England Revolution closing in on a deal to acquire USYNT winger Griffin Yow from Westerlo.

Fee just over $400k I'm told. Deal agreed but needs to be finalized.

Yow, 23, is a product of D.C. United's academy. Blossomed at Westerlo.

We've gotten a few hints but more smoke suggesting Chancalay could move this offseason.

If Raines joins the #NERevs as a U22, he would be the 4th on the roster.

New England would need to switch to the 2-4-2 model (2DPs, 4 u22s, $2M GAM) from the 3-3 model (3DPs, 3 u22s).
More details, per sources:

Houston will receive $1.6m up front + $400k add-ons from New England for Raines. Cash trade.

Raines hits Revs roster via U-22 initiative.

Raines, 20, has made 61 first team apps with HOU. Contract was set to expire next winter

After 64 games coached, Caleb Porter owns the lowest PPG of any #NERevs mangager (excluding interim).

Hard to say this is a surprise.

My latest article with @theblazingmusket.com takes a look at why, while technically hope still exists for a playoff push, maybe #NERevs fans shouldn’t hold their breath for a turnaround.
