Real Salt Lake just executed one of those head-scratching MLS trades: They’ve traded $75,000 of their Targeted Allocation Money to Chicago Fire, receiving $50,000 in 2020 General Allocation Money.
Let’s take a step back here and break this one down. There’s no other detail you need to get it, but frankly, these can be a little confusing.
$75,000 of their Targeted Allocation Money.
I dunno. I have my hypotheses.
$50,000 in General Allocation Money to be used in the 2020 season.
So... money for money?
I mean, sort of.
