The big rumor relating to the New York Red Bulls is the suggestion that head coach Jesse Marsch is on his way to becoming the head coach of RB Salzburg. Whether that happens or not, RBNY will be participating in the MLS SuperDraft on January 13. With regard to that event, all the club has said is (via assistant coach Denis Hamlett) it intends to go after the best player available when its moment comes to select.
But there is a rumor RBNY might be hoping to force the issue of when it gets to make its first pick, which would make the question of the best player available perhaps a little easier to determine:
What I've heard from multiple folks is that #RBNY are trying to trade up into the top 3 for Danladi.
