D.C. United announces protected players for MLS Expansion Draft
Along with the rest of the league’s existing clubs, D.C. United announced their protected list for the upcoming MLS Expansion Draft. A pair of trades announced earlier today changed the equation for United, who went from being obliged to protect three internationals (due to draft rules) to having to protect one. Atlanta United and Minnesota United will get to select from the entire league’s unprotected players tomorrow at 2pm Eastern.
United’s protected list is as follows
Luciano Acosta
Steve Birnbaum
Nick DeLeon
Bill Hamid
Taylor Kemp
Patrick Mullins
Lamar Neagle
Patrick Nyarko
Lloyd Sam
Marcelo Sarvas
Rob Vincent
