This posts level of detail is about how I feel about that trade also

Jozy to New England is official now.

Charlotte also has a second kit now which is still kinda boring but at least the highlight color is unique.

Austin is getting a new secondary tomorrow, and I presume it’s better than the inaugural kit because it would be astounding if it was MORE boring.

We need a ccl thread but anyway The first Concacaf CL match of the year has been moved from tomorrow to Friday because Cavaly FC, a Haitan club who is playing their home leg against New England in New England in February, hasn't been able to get visas and now will be played on Friday instead of tomorrow evening.

That's some concacaf poo poo right there

There's 2 other mls teams playing ccl tomorrow night though so soccer is still happening

They changed the calendar right? So it matches up better with an MLS season and an MLS team might actually win?

Now that you mention it, I'm surprised it hasn't happened already, especially since there was a time about a third of the league had MLM companies as jersey sponsors (now we're down to just Galaxy and RSL). Seems like a natural progression.

Cavaly officially withdrew from CCL, and it sounds like CONCACAF might punish them for it (which seems rude).

Yes, mostly

CCL 2022 Rulebook posted:

4. PARTICIPATING CLUBS

4.3.2 Providing for their own international and local travel and transport
and any costs incurred in obtaining visas;

[...]

26. FINANCIAL PROVISIONS

26.2 Concacaf will provide each visiting club with a travel subsidy per away
match as a contribution to the travel costs. This subsidy will be paid
directly to the club at least one month prior to the match in question, when
possible.

But since Cavaly couldn't get visas to enter the country they didn't exactly travel all that much.

Also, there's a CCL thread now

Centene’s a pretty big company with 70k employees and part of Fortune 50. And they’re headquartered here in St. Louis, so the sponsorship makes sense.

NYRB have apparently signed Luquinhas from Legia Warsaw, he’s a 25 year old attacking mid who will be on a 3 year DP contract. I hope he’s good.

Alan Pulido is out for the entire year, so it sounds like SKC has been scrambling to get any sort of striker. And here he is.

https://twitter.com/SportingKC/status/1493601011092574208

Apparently they couldn't do much else in terms of salary cap and league rules.
Real "I guess we'll see what happens" hours

A few under-22 signings (left-back, left-wing, and centerback) and a couple of veteran MLS signings (Ben Sweat and Uri Rossell), but not much else this off-season.

Still a little salty they got rid of Ilie, but his contract was pretty big. Congrats to LAFC on that pick up.
