The Fire Passed on Borgetti

According to Luis Arroyave's blog "The Red Card" Jared Borgetti was once on the Chicago Fire's radar when the team was looking to sign a designated player.

The Fire backed off once it heard Borgetti and the Colorado Rapids were in contract discussions. According to Guppy (the Fire's GM), Borgetti to the Rapids was a done deal until Borgetti "reneged" and signed with Mexico's Cruz Azul.
