After a year in which we were left in the dark as far as how much MLS players make in salary according to the MLS Players Association, the union released the initial 2021 figures on Thursday.
Typically, the MLSPA releases salary figures twice a year, but they didn’t release any figures publicly last season, presumably due to the coronavirus pandemic and players taking a temporary pay cut and then players getting paid out from an emergency fund to make up the difference as best as possible.
But we’re back! Here’s what the MLSPA reports about the Galaxy roster:
