Who's Adding Who - FC Dallas

In:
 
F Maximiliano Urruti (12/11/15 - Re-Entry Draft) - One of a number of Timbers postseason heroes, it was Urruti's extra time equalizer in the wildcard round that sent the Timbers to a shootout against Sporting Kansas City and propelling their postseason run. Despite just 28 career starts in MLS, the 24 year-old Urruti already has 15 goals including a career-high 10 in just 12 starts in 2014.
D Aaron Guillen (1/5/16 - Homegrown) - The 2014 Atlantic Sun Conference Defensive Player of the Year, and a three-time member of the All Conference First Team, Guillen joins FC Dallas after a solid college career where he was a four-year starter at Florida Gulf Coast University.
M Juan Esteban Ortiz (1/20/16 - free) - A defensive midfielder by trade, the 28 year-old veteran has upwards of 240 appearances in the Colombian First Division. Ortiz, whose most recent club was Atlético Huila, becomes the third Colombian player on the FC Dallas roster joining Michael Barrios and Fabián Castillo.
M Carlos Gruezo (1/23/16 - transfer from Stuttgart) - Despite being a few months shy of his 21st birthday, Gruezo already has double-digit CAPs for the Ecuadorian National Team. The first Ecuadorian to ever score in the Bundesliga when he did so in 2014 with VfB Stuttgart, Gruezo was also the second youngest player to start a match during the 2014 FIFA World Cup (behind only England's Luke Shaw).
D Maynor Figueroa (1/26/16 - trade from Colorado) - Only two players have appeared in more matches for Honduras then the 32 year-old veteran, Figueroa. A serviceable left back or central defender, Figueroa made his MLS debut with the Rapids in 2015 making 10 starts and scoring a goal against Sporting Kansas City.
