As they do every spring, the MLS Players Association announced the list of player salaries for this season. That includes the entire Fire roster, except for Jairo Torres and Chris Mueller who joined the roster after the cutoff of April 15th to be on the list. There are a few takeaways from this list that are worth mentioning.
The Total Spend
The Fire roster has a total guaranteed compensation of $17,645,464, not including Torres and Mueller. This is among the highest in the league, just trailing the likes of Atlanta, LA Galaxy, and Inter Miami. Last season’s payroll was around 14 million, and the increase can be credited to a certain Swiss DP.
