Major League Soccer Commissioner Don Garber believes his league is in transition when it comes to star players.
It's a youth movement slowly taking hold as teams shift from older designated players to younger options to fill the premier roles.
"Without doubt the target is younger players who are coming at the prime of their career or even as they're beginning to establish their career," Garber said.
Garber spoke with The Associated Press by phone this week leading to Saturday's MLS Cup final between Seattle and Toronto, discussing the hiring of national coach Bruce Arena and league expansion to Atlanta and Minnesota in 2017.
