The Red Bulls might not have a new coach in place for the 2013 Major League Soccer season, but they certainly lead the league in pre-season trades.

Here is a quick look at the week that was, with Friday still remaining:

Monday

The Red Bulls acquire forward Fabian Espindola and two-time MLS Best XI selection and 2010 MLS defender of the year Jamison Olave from Real Salt Lake in exchange for allocation money.

New York obtains defender Kosuke Kimura and a natural second round 2013 MLS SuperDraft pick from the Portland Timbers in for allocation money and the MLS Homegrown rights for defender Bryan Gallego.

Thursday

The Red Bulls deal Sebastien Le Toux to the Philadelphia Union for Costa Rican forward Josué Martinez and allocation money.

Friday
