Mathis Rights Dealt to Real Salt Lake
As expected, the Galaxy today dealt the rights to former striker and noted head case Clint Mathis to Real Salt Lake.
In return, they got a conditional fourth round pick in the 2010 draft.
From the (edited) Galaxy press release:
Mathis, who began his career with the Galaxy in 1998, was re-acquired by the club in November 2007. He accompanied the club on its tour of Australia and New Zealand, scoring in the 4-1 win over the Wellington Phoenix, but did not sign a new contract, electing to join Greek SuperLeague side Ergotelis. Mathis returned to the U.S. after the completion of the Greek season and trained with the Galaxy for a month, but did not sign with the club.
Oh, and if you were planning on heading out to the 10 a.m. Friday Galaxy-Chivas USA reserve team game - don't. Its been postponed.

You'd think Bravo or whomever is running the show nowadays could've gotten more for Mathis than that.
