 | | Since arriving in MLS with the Los Angeles Galaxy in 2002, Ruiz has 61 goals in 91 regular-season matches and added 13 playoff goals, the second most in league history. |
 | | Terms of the contract were not released, as is MLS policy, but The Dallas Morning News reported Ruiz, 26, could make as much as $500,000 if all incentives are reached while counting as $350,000, the league maximum, against the salary cap. |
 | | It was the fourth time the MetoStars have won a draft lottery, gaining the rights to goalkeeper D.J. Countess in 2001, defender Nelson Akwari in 2002 and midfielder Joey DiGiamarino in 2003. |
