And with that, his loan ends and a pirchsse highly unlikely.  You have to also wonder about Baldisimo's future in SJ.

Funny, I was going to comment on Baldisimo when I saw he didn't even make the bench. Played in only 10 games this year (3 starts) for an average of just 29 minutes.  As I said when the Whitecaps cut him - this isn't on Vanni or the Whitecaps, he's just not good enough for this level. A second organization I think has now come to the same conclusion.

I remember Dos Santos talking about how he would miss key time in training due to injury so that would hamper his availability for matches when he was first making an impression.

Unfortunately, it isn't working out for him and I just don't see him getting other chances at this level.

a number 6 who can't win any duels or cover any ground and can only play good passes when not under any pressure is probably not up to the standard

LAFC scored 6 set piece goals all season.  They just scored 4 in one game against the Whitecaps "zonal marking" system that has been dreadful all year.  Brutal.

Terrible marking, definitely, but I would argue that over the season, opposing teams' tactics also sent the message that they don't respect the keeper's ability to command the six yard box in those situations.
