Is the Sam Bassett addition enough for the young Rapids compete in the West?

The Colorado Rapids have had an offseason full of transactions and most importantly draft picks. There might not have been a marquee signing but the Burgundy Boys are getting younger. We go through the biggest moves of the offseason and Duane Brown’s takeaways from media day. Sam Bassett is staying home and the Pids have a new center back pairing in Chidozie Awaziem and Ian Murphy. There have been plenty of GAM transactions to keep our Burgundy heart’s warm.   We’ve also got a new NWSL team to get into. Join Duane Brown, Yahir Vazquez and Andre Simone to talk through all the offseason moves around the West and more.   0:00 Start 7:30 Sam Bassett sound from media day 10:27 Media day 28:00 2025 Depth chart and GAM transactions 46:00 NWSL 52:18 Biggest win and loss in the offseason for the Rapids   An ALLCITY Network Production   PARTY WITH US: https://thednvr.com/events   ALL THINGS DNVR: https://linktr.ee/dnvrsports   MERCH: https://store.allcitynetwork.com/collections/dnvr-locker   SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/c/DNVR_Sports   Breck Brew Ice Deck Giveaway: http://breckbrew.com/icedeck Empire Today: Schedule a free in-home estimate today!
