Hello Colorado Rapids Fans! This week on Holding The High Line, it's been an uneventful off-season. Rabbi and Red touch on some Rapids and general MLS transfer news. We discuss the current state of negotiations with Tommy Smith and Columbus Crew regarding Lalas Abubakar. The guys neurotically preview the 2019 Expansion Draft, which should be really chill. Then Red sits down to speak with Rapids GM Padraig Smith to talk off-season happenings and a bunch of other '2020 State of the Pids' topics. Enjoy.
