D.C. United has a chunk of cash to spend, whether Steve Birnbaum leaves MLS or not

The latest rumor gives a us a chance to envision what D.C. has to play with.

With the MLS transfer window now open, teams are gearing up to bolster their squads and push for a trophy. D.C. United is hopefully in that group, but a recent tweet about defender Steve Birnbaum has us thinking about just how much the Black-and-Red can accomplish on that front:

Putting aside the impact that a Birnbaum departure would have on the field, where Ben Olsen would have to rely on Kofi Opare, Bobby Boswell and Jalen Robinson as his center back depth, I thought it may be as good a time as any to look at what that kind of money could be turned into as well as what is currently available for United.
