Forward Luis Miguel Escalada might have scored a goal for Real Salt Lake, but otherwise, he did not impress enough to stay with the team.
The team has declined to pick up the option on the Argentine's contract, it announced Tuesday, meaning that Escalada is no longer with the club. The 23-year-old had played 126 minutes in five games with RSL after joining it before the season, but never threatened for more substantial playing time ahead of fellow strikers Yura Movsisyan, Robbie Findley and Fabian Espindola.
Escalada's lone goal came late during a 6-0 victory over New England in April, when RSL showered the Revolution with goals in the second half. He started only one game.
