Several younger players, who are contributing at a high level, are in structured buckets. The only way to break out of those buckets is to leave or patiently wait for time to pass.

Gyasi Zardes makes $1.4 million? Maybe he can buy a first touch with that.

Didn't he win the golden boot in MLS a little while back?

Zardes is in an 18 month funk, not sure I'd have given him that salary.

It's too much for his first touch. It ought to be league minimum for that alone.

I don't follow MLS closely, but that seems like an indictment of the MSL if true

What hurts the young players are the big contracts teams give to players that flop.

Those young players are locked in because of the union agreements and structures of developed players.

I thought I read that the "hold-up" with Plata is the Mexican transfer window doesn't open until this weekend.

Technically our transfer window isn't open yet.

Lowest paid player makes $56k. That's like 3x more than when RSL entered the league.
