Alejandro Bedoya left unprotected for MLS Expansion draft

Philadelphia Union captain Alejandro Bedoya is a surprise addition to the players available to St. Louis City SC for the upcoming MLS Expansion draft.

Bedoya, 35, is one of six players the Union left unprotected for the draft that will take place Friday night.

The veteran is under contract through the 2023 season.

St. Louis will have a chance to select up to five players — no more than one per team — from the draft pool, which includes players left unprotected from the Union and 22 other MLS teams.

Teams that had a player selected in the 2021 draft by Charlotte FC — Austin FC, Atlanta United, DC United, LAFC, NYCFC — are excluded.
