As it is with anything in Major League Soccer, they really don’t make it easy on themselves. With two different types of league-allotted allocation money, ever-changing and never transparent salary numbers, and draconian rules of player acquisition (some team out there has got to already have the “Discovery Rights” for Messi), the league has seemingly more opaque rules and regulations than a government agency.
And it’s is no different for the MLS offseason. With MLS Cup 2020 firmly in the rearview mirror (shouts to Caleb Porter), we can all turn our eyes squarely to the silly season.
