The Colorado Rapids made a selection in the 2015 Major League Soccer Waiver Draft today as they took former Seattle Sounders midfielder Micheal Azira.
I know what you are saying: who?
And what in the hell is a waiver draft.
OK...first off the waiver draft consists of players who have been waived by their clubs and are not eligible for Re-Entry or Free Agency. Under contract players who are selected in the Waiver Draft will be automatically added to the drafting club's roster.
Secondly, Azira is a 28 year old Ugandan midfielder who made $60,000 in 2015 (according to MLS Salary figures) and has a total 30 appearances in two seasons (including playoffs) in MLS.
