If you just look at the list of players available for the 2016 MLS expansion draft, it's easy to get caught up in the star-studded options in the pile. Names like Landon Donovan, Robbie Keane and Jermaine Jones are the ones fans will look at and pray get called in Tuesday's expansion draft, but the reality is the teams selecting players aren't focused on big names so much as on salary sizes, international status and age.
You see, as entertaining as it would be for Atlanta United or Minnesota United to take a Donovan or Keane, it is extremely unlikely any such scenario happens.
