D.C. United has options in today’s Re-Entry Draft

The drafting does not stop this week, with the third of three today: after the Expansion Draft and the Waiver Draft comes the first stage of the Re-Entry Draft. Created a few years ago, the Re-Entry Drafts allows players to move to a new team that wants them, rather than allowing a team to just squat on a player’s rights (a la Kevin Hartman or Herculez Gomez). Many of the players who would have previously been in this draft are now free agents, so it is now stocked with players who do not have the eight years in the league to qualify for free agency.
