Each offseason promises some level of transition for MLS teams. Reto Ziegler, a stalwart on the back line in recent seasons, had his contract end. Bressan, locking down the spot next to Matt Hedges late in the season, entered into contract negotiations with the club to remain with the team. Bryan Reynolds, FC Dallas’ latest star right back, is likely heading out to Europe in a matter of weeks to the right situation and highest bidder. Callum Montgomery, initially figured as a potential starter next to Hedges, was traded to Minnesota United.
Turnover happens, but for a team with intentions on achieving its goals in 2021, what could these changes mean?
