Rapids have signed Danny Wilson at CB from Rangers. It’s a good signing but I’m still waiting for a striker. Badji is good but he’s not *that* good.

They've had a nice offseason. That central defense is looking pretty solid right now.

Looks like the Timbers have acquired 19 year old Paraguayan box to box mid Cristhian Paredes on loan from Club America.

Jack Harrison was "sold" by NYCFC to Manchester City for less than what Stoke had offered for him and then immediately loaned to Middlesbrough for the rest of the season.

Seems legit.

Carlos Carmona transferred from Atlanta to Colo-Colo. That's a pretty big loss, but they should be able to find a replacement with his salary freed up.

Speaking of YouTube if you're dying for MLS action there's currently a stream of the Timbers/Quakes scrimmage (that featured a missed PK by Adi in the first minute & a straight red to San Jose's first round draft pick in the 7th)

from the Derby County subreddit, they say he works his rear end off every game, but then i also read

Between this guy and Croizet I am tentatively hopeful that SKC will be entertaining.

Russell seems to be a legit good player in the Championship so that's exciting.

also apparently they're still in on felipe gutierrez who I also know nothing about.

I think we may have mentioned this in passing but Lee Nguyen has been pretty open about wanting to leave New England and he hasn't traveled with the team to their various pre-season activities. There were rumors that he might go back to some team in Vietnam but his salary is almost certainly too high for that. I don't know how much he's really worth; he's one of those players that is almost great but never quite there.

For what it’s worth if you wanna half cord cut, youtube TV is great. My guess is that this is not the last deal of this type we will see with MLS teams as regional rights come up for renewal.

The thing about words is that meanings can twist just like a snake, and if you want to find snakes, look for them behind words that have changed their meaning.

I do, and this fact leaves me questioning my life choices.

(tl;dr: GAM is more flexible than TAM because TAM can only be used on players who would otherwise be making DP salaries, and also TAM has expiry dates. So there may be situations in which one form of Monopoly money is more useful to a team trying to be cap-compliant than another - and so you can get a premium trading one for the other.)

edit: my guess is, DC needs more TAM for Asad or some other new signing, TFC has some expiring TAM they need to get rid of, wants to convert it into some more usable form, and is willing to pay a premium to do so.
