Landon Donovan was great in the Houston/Seattle game.  : Beasley is hitting the grass here, looks like he might be really hurt.  : I've known DeMarcus Beasley since we were 16, and he's about to stand u and walk away from this no problem.

https://twitter.com/LAGalaxyInsider/status/935255937023057921 So that's the option on all of our goalies, a player who got we signed midseason and saw brief minutes in 5 games then tore his ACL, a bunch of homegrown boys, and our "captain". https://twitter.com/LAGalaxyInsider/status/935262298876153857 Tigren fucked around with this message at 00:14 on Nov 28, 2017 |

Atlanta announced their cuts, only real notable ones are Kenwyne Jones and Mears. Mears sucked and Kenwyne obviously wasn’t in Martino’s plans, makes sense.

Vancouver's notable cuts are Ousted (but that was already known), Sheanon Williams, and Mauro Rosales (who I'd bet is retiring or at least leaving MLS). They declined options on a few other players that they're still "negotiating" with to maybe bring back at a lower number: Harvey, Jacobsen, Bolanos, Bustos, Edgar, Laba, Nosa, and Teibert. Of those I'd guess Bolanos and Laba end up leaving the league/country, Harvey and AJ give free agency a try (I THINK they both qualify, I haven't checked), Edgar, Nosa, and MAAAAAAYBE Teibert get resigned for cheaper, and Bustos goes to the CPL if it starts next year.

Tigren posted:https://twitter.com/LAGalaxyInsider/status/935255937023057921 Looks like Sigi is getting busy already. It'll be interesting to see what his son's scouting abilities bring for their roster next year. He was really good for Seattle, and I imagine he has a giant portfolio of players that they are planning on replacing the missing 12 roster spots with.

Some Twitter random noted something that I hadn't remembered: Summer 2013 when Precourt bought the team was the height of the Chivas debacle (the league bought Vergara out after that season) so if the only buyer the Hunts could find insisted on that exit clause, I imagine they just wanted to take the deal anyway, and the other owners weren't up for buying out two teams in six months, and down the road we rolled until today.

Rapids cut some guys names who didn’t do much. Gatt, Williams, Castillo, and Berner. Gordon was let go but I’m not surprised, while he had some notable goals he was a warm body too often. Luis “the only player on loan who got traded in league history” Gil also got let go, he was useless. The only surprise was Mo Saeid who actually looked good on this garbage fire of a team. Turns out he specifically requested it, reportedly for family reasons. https://twitter.com/Ry_Madden/status/935560038571057152?s=17 Should be interesting to see how they rebuild, as long as Johan Blomberg isn’t the only new addition. Wouldn’t mind seeing Jose Villarreal in burgundy... TheBoyBlunder fucked around with this message at 04:31 on Nov 29, 2017 |

I'm going to wait in case it doesn't pan out. I don't want to burn my source, who I definitely trust. It's someone that would be in a position to know. There a chance it could get posted on Twitter early. I'm not the only one that knows, I just don't want to be *that guy*.

Let's just move San Jose's rights to Sacramento, give the expansion spots to Cincy and Nashville (or don't expand) and then lol at Detroit in general, a city that will have 30 people living in it by the time the team would get off the ground
