The MLS off-season of weird draft and player lists continues today with the MLS Re-Entry draft. A total of 59 players are eligible for selection in the 2017 MLS Re-Entry Draft, with Stage 1 to be conducted at 3 p.m. ET on Friday, Dec. 15.
Perhaps we are cynical, but from the outside point of view I think it can be said that most of these drafts consist of ways to control player movement and limit free agency inside the single entity structure of MLS. You can look here for the reasons players are, or are not, in this pool.
