Brandon Ochoa breaks a bone — 52 days out

Supporters turn on the $370.0K sale of Jaziel Martínez
He is going to Guadalajara, the club has $370.0K it did not have on Friday, and the phone-ins have already decided how they feel about that. Selling well and selling somebody they loved are not the same skill.
