Rumors Continue To Place Oscar Pareja Back In Dallas

That in mind, it looks very likely, if these sources are telling the truth, that Oscar will be going back to the team that spawned him in the first place. They go as far as to say that there may already be a tentative agreement in place to send Oscar back to Texas, with only the front offices standing in the way. Of course, Colorado can always sign their man to a new contract, but it's hard to believe that their best offer hasn't already been placed on the table at this point.

Rumors aside, it seems prudent to point out how absolutely ridiculous one particular paragraph in the article is:

Not the last part (there's obviously no way we can know that either way) but the part about how the Rapids have no ready-made replacement. Wilmer Cabrera is the obvious answer, and I can't imagine a scenario where Pareja leaves and the Rapids don't immediately promote him to the head job. He understands the philosophy of the team at present, he has some former head coaching work under his belt with the USMNT U-17's and he should seamlessly be able to lead the team into the SuperDraft. To say that Colorado would go into crisis mode with Pareja out of the picture seems unlikely, especially if you're going to argue one paragraph later that Marco Ferruzzi could be Dallas' best option for all the same reasons that Cabrera would be in Colorado's case.

That's a talk for a later date, however. That said, it sounded like it was about to happen last time these rumors came up as well. There are just under two weeks until the SuperDraft. This whole thing is almost guaranteed to go down by the time we've hit that off-season milestone, so strap in. It's going to be an interesting road to the combine unless this thing sorts itself out really, really quickly.
