The New York Red Bulls acquired two-time MLS champion goalkeeper John McCarthy from the Los Angeles Galaxy on Friday for a third-round draft pick and $150,000 in general allocation money.
McCarthy, who won titles with Los Angeles FC in 2022 and the Galaxy in 2024, lost his starting spot in May to Novak Micovic.
McCarthy, 33, has 21 career clean sheets in 111 regular-season matches across 10 seasons with four different clubs.
'He has shown up in big moments throughout his whole career and we are excited to add him to our organization,' Red Bulls head of sport Jochen Schneider said.

The 24-year-old Spaniard's deal runs through June 2026 and includes a purchase option that would keep him with Montreal through 2027 with options for 2028-29. Jaime will occupy a designated player spot on the roster.
'We are very pleased to welcome Ivan Jaime to our squad,' Montreal managing director Luca Saputo said. 'His profile and qualities are fully in line with the sporting vision we want to build within our club. 'His technical talent and ability to make a difference in the offensive third will bring a new dimension to our team.'
Jaime has tallied five goals and two assists in 44 matches since joining Porto for a reported $10 million transfer fee from Famalicao in 2023. He spent last year on loan at Valencia CF of the Spanish LaLiga.

San Diego FC also waived defender Hamady Diop, who played eight games for the club.

Marczuk recorded two goals and four assists in 31 appearances across all competitions for RSL since August 2024.
