Teams around Major League Soccer released their protected and unprotectes players lists today in preparation for tomorrow’s MLS Expansion Draft. Orlando City had fairly unsurprising lists of protected and unprotected players when the club made its announcement today. As the Lions officially terminated Junior Urso’s contract by mutual consent this morning, his name was not among those on the lists.
Teams were permitted to select 12 players on the roster to protect against selection. The following players are protected from selection by St. Louis City SC on Friday in the Expansion Draft (players with an asterisk beside their names are automatically protected as Homegrown Players).
