As we're sitting here waiting for Real Salt Lake to make a move — keeping in mind that RSL general manager Craig Waibel said earlier this week that the earliest a move for a new player could take place is next week — it might be a helpful exercise to consider the players that have come, gone, and stayed in Salt Lake City.
In
Danilo Acosta — a young, talented center back from the RSL-AZ academy
Out
Returning
Jamison Olave — With uncertainty around Schuler and with Elias Vasquez gone, Olave's return shores up the center back
Demar Phillips — The left back agreed a new contract with Real Salt Lake after agreeing that his 2015 season was frustrating
Potential
Mystery player A — The player Waibel is most confident about; he expects an announcement next week
Mystery player B — This one's less certain — Waibel feels "shaky" about signing the player.
