With the Union finishing their Major League Soccer season, sporting director Earnie Stewart is already planning for the franchise's eighth season.
Normally with all MLS teams, there is a considerable amount of offseason change and the Union should be no different. A big question is whether all-star goalkeeper Andre Blake will be part of the future.
In his first season as a full-time starter and his third overall with the team, Blake was a big reason the Union earned their first playoff berth since their second season in 2011. But Blake, who turns 26 on Nov. 21, could have international teams calling the Union about his services.
