Jon Busch

According to today's Washington Post the Crew have plans to waive keeper Jon Busch. Jon was a fan favorite when he was on the pitch. He struggled with injuries but no one played harder while on the field than Jon. If this is true the Crew will have Bill Gaudette, Will Hesmer, and Andy Gruenebaum to pick from to stick between the pipes or less likely option they are planing on signing an international player.
