Happy MLS Players Union semiannual salary survey day! Considering how badly it got worked over in the last CBA negotiations, this remains pretty much the most impactful thing the union does. And I for one am grateful.
First things first: my oddly-popular spreadsheet has been updated with the latest figures, which you can check out here.
One thing to note about it is that the information is deeply incomplete. Not only can I really only guess at the use of TAM and GAM, executives and coaches have long insisted to me that the MLSPU numbers were suspect, and used Fabian Castillo’s reported salary as a case in point.
