Christmas comes early: More TAM for everyone

As first rumored last month, MLS announced today an increase in the amount of Targeted Allocation Money (TAM) that each team has available. Similar to 2017, teams will have $1.2M in TAM available annually for the 2018 and 2019 seasons, funded by the league. In addition to this, each team can now spend an additional $2.8M in TAM annually, which the team is responsible for funding themselves. The additional TAM is also available in both 2018 and 2019. If that wasn’t enough, the maximum salary for a player eligible for TAM has increased to $1.
