Johan Venegas is off to Minnesota, traded for a draft pick or a bag of balls or something. He's still a dumb player with no technique, but he runs a lot so I guess that's something.

Think what a lovely thing it would have been to have Schmetzer sidle up to you on the parade trolley (after it munched a bike cop) and say 'by the way, you'll need to hop off..'

We really need to shore up the back line and quick. Hey how about a DP center back? I know it's a novel idea that doesn't align with MLS primary goal of tricking people into arenas to see past it goal scorers who people recognize but I think it would help out a lot.

I read an article on Deadspin in the past couple of weeks that was about Cam Newton's habit of joining in random pick up games of any sport. It made me like him even more. Do you guys have any coed teams?

We do! That Sunday league (Pub League) is coed. We basically first made a coed beginner team and academy, but then found that there are a lot of assholes even at low-level rec soccer, so we started organizing our own. It's my go-to recommendation for people who are interested in playing, because since it's sort of a "everyone is really on the same team" mindset since teams are changed every season, everyone tends to be friendly and not aiming to kill you.

How many people did you have who only joined to look like Messi or Ronaldo compared to the beginners? Because that's what happens every time I find a chill league or pick up.

I play(ed) in an indoor league with this problem, so they made facility employees ref all C division games rather than random volunteers. If a player was too good for C, they were placed in A/B or forced to play only defense or keeper or something.

We do the same as joshtothemaxx posted. If you're too good, we'll refund your money, but try to get you on one of our competitive teams. The fact I've never been too good tells you how lovely a player I am.

I think they are still part of the re-entry draft, which generally covers anyone "coming back" to MLS. Basically, it makes no sense to take them in the waiver draft because I think you have to take them at the same salary and contract. You can renegotiate through the re-entry draft.

^^The waiver draft is specifically for people who get waived by a team but don't meet the criteria for the re-entry draft - people who fall through it are pretty much free agents. But the part about having to meet their current contract is accurate, which is probably the main reason nobody was taken.Simone Poodoin posted:So what happens to those players now?

Basically yes, or in other words: Crazy Ted posted:They move on to the Island of Misfit MLS Rejects Maybe some of them will be signed by somebody at less than they were earning, but I guess most will end up leaving the league.

Oh yeah, I'm wrong. The whole point is they're not eligible for the re-entry draft: http://www.mlssoccer.com/post/2016/12/15/no-selections-made-2016-mls-waiver-draft MLS posted:The Waiver Draft consisted of players who had been waived by their clubs but didn't meet the minimum years of service requirement for the Re-Entry Draft or Free Agency

So you're saying people who bought in originally are getting their money back by other people coming in and buying in for more. man, that sure sounds like some kind of...plan? Program? Arrangement? Can't quite think of a word, I bet some Italian dude can come up with something.
