The Major League Soccer offseason is about to kick into high gear. The MLS Cup just went down on Saturday (and what a memorable game it was) and now the offseason schedule really gets going for Sporting Kansas City and the rest of the league. A trade window opens at 11:00 AM CT on Monday and runs for 48 hours in preparation for what is nearly a nearly annual, awful tradition — the MLS Expansion Draft.
Austin FC, Atlanta United, D.C. United, LAFC and New York City FC are all exempt having lost players in the draft to Charlotte FC last year.
