The Major League Soccer Players Association released its report of players’ salaries for the 2022 MLS season. Twice each year the MLSPA releases this salary information, giving fans a look at how various MLS teams spend their salary budget money.
Last year’s October release — the MLSPA did not provide salary releases in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic — provided a glimpse at the few midseason acquisitions for the Columbus Crew during the 2021 season. This updated release shows how Columbus’ front office spent salary resources to address the disappointing 2021 season by adding multiple new players and bumping up the salary of some returning players.
