Brotherly Game has learned that the MLS Expansion Draft will continue in 2016.

The 2016 MLS Regular Season is rapidly coming to a close, and the playoffs loom large. And while most teams are (rightfully so) focusing on the postseason, a few are paying closer attention to what is happening after the season ends.

There have been quite a few discussions around whether or not there would be an Expansion Draft with Minnesota United FC and Atlanta United entering the league, with a Yahoo! Sports report stating that"Discussion of eliminating the expansion draft has taken place at the committee level within MLS" with the alternative to the Expansion Draft being that "[The] league would probably expand [the] number of foreign slots and increase allocation money for expansion teams,"

It appears though that this will not be the case.
