There was a question Charlie tackled in this week’s Mailbag that I’d been thinking on for a little while: how painful is this year’s expansion draft going to be for Toronto FC?
Los Angeles FC, of course, will make MLS a 23-team league next year when they join the Western Conference backed by numerous high-profile investors and with a coach and star player already secured in Bob Bradley and Carlos Vela respectively.
They will be much more LA Galaxy (in profile and financial power, at least) than Chivas USA, and have Atlanta United potential in their inaugural season.
