Edson Buddle has left Major League Soccer. What at first seemed like a thin, spurious connection was affirmed on Monday, with 2. Bundesliga’s 17th place Inglostadt signing the now former Los Angeles Galaxy striker.

On this edition of the Major League Soccer Talk podcast, myself and co-host Christopher Riordan talk about the whys, hows and what nows of Buddle’s departure – how it impacts league, club, national team, and us. Eventually we transition to a topic neither of us are experts on: SuperDraft, to be held Thursday in Baltimore.
