CARSON, CA (Wednesday, July 19, 2006) - The Los Angeles Galaxy have traded the rights to midfielder Marcelo Saragosa to FC Dallas in exchange for Dallas' second round pick in the 2007 MLS Supplemental Draft, the club announced today. The Galaxy had retained the rights to Saragosa after he was not claimed off waivers on June 27.
