Americans at home: Pass the YAM
It’s about 12ish weeks into the MLS season, so you know what that means... That’s right MLS is going to change it’s roster rules in the middle of the year. The league is reportedly set to begin allowing teams to spend more money on their rosters. Why they need to limit how much owners spend on their rosters is another issue, but in an effort to be a top five league by 2022 and finally beat cornhole in television ratings, the league will allow teams to spend $3 million from now until the 2022 season. Paul Tenorio of the Athletic reported the news on Friday. There is one catch, the funds can only be spent on players 20 or younger and who are outside of MLS in a kind of Youth Allocation Money.
