    That happened toward the end of last season ... so, yes.

    So is the pre-contract binding? Or is it like a promise ring?

    Asad was on their announced list of under-contract players for 2020, so I assume it's binding.

    I believe have 19 of 30 roster slots filled as of 12/16/2019.

    GK: Hamid, Seitz
    D: Birnbaum, Brillant, Fisher, Mora, Odoi-Atsem, Pines
    MF: Arriola, Asad, Boetang, Canouse, Durkin (inactive, on loan), Martins, Moreno, Nyeman, Segura, Yow
    F: Kamara

    And we are in negotiations with Rodriguez, Wild and Edwards, which would take us to 22, if they all re-signed.

    Am I missing anyone?

    He should be out of contract at the end of the month. 375k to not mark anyone.

    Goff reported long ago that Pedroso is "no longer in the team's plans".

    This sound very bad to me. Preseason starts in, what, a month? Were we that low last year ir other precious years. How about relative to other mls teams?

    It seems like the FO always waits until the last minute to finalize international deals. Presumably to save as much coin as possible.

    And folks mocked me when I suggested that the Revs were about to pass us during last season.

    It was bound to happen. Everyone passes you when you aren't moving forward. Wether we are idling or going in reverse is up for discussion.

    Here's a quote from a post I made on Dec 31 of last year:

    "Holy crap. Preseason starts in 3 weeks and our gameday 18 includes a cancer patient, three goalkeepers and two guys who are in the midst of renegotiation... and we have, what, 8-9 guys who are a threat to be called up for NT duty? :eek:

    I know there's a lot going on that we don't see. But if you're going to give 1/2 the roster the old heave-ho, shouldn't you have a plan that includes signing more than two players before the end of the year? :unsure:"

    Might be better than some of the deck chairs that we're likely to roll with.

    At least DC United get to play all their home games in one stadium, unlike NYCFC.

    They may play in more places but they are also more entertaining, talented, tactically sound, and fun to (hate) watch.

    Looks like LAFC is signing all of the South American U23 National team players they can. Apparently JP Angel is their scout.

    Do we have a scout?
