LA declines the option on 3 of their 4 imported defenders (and probably not all 4 because the remaining one was already under contract next year). https://www.lagalaxy.com/post/2018/11/26/la-galaxy-exercise-2019-contract-options-four-players FCD clears out a bunch of cap space with Maynor, Roland, and Abel not being renewed. https://www.fcdallas.com/post/2018/11/26/fc-dallas-exercises-contract-options-four-players Let's see.

Fantastic scouting there.
