Losing MLS Cup sucks. It’s about to be worse, because several players will no longer be Sounders by the end of the weekend. By 9 a.m. Sunday the Seattle Sounders will exercise their options and make bona fide offers on the players where those conditions apply. Seattle will also submit their protected list for the Expansion Draft at that time.
This coincides with a half-day trade window where teams are trying to move minor assets as they prepare for “draft season.” That trade window is from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. Sunday.
All roster movement shuts down at 10 a.
