After MLS Cup ends Saturday in snowy Toronto, an offseason of trades, loans, transfers, drafts and signings will commence around the league. For D.C. United, it’s going to be a very busy winter.
Before we get to United’s roster, here are the key dates:
Tuesday: MLS expansion draft for incoming Los Angeles FC, which will select five players from around the league. No club will lose more than one player and 17 will not lose anybody. All clubs will protect 11 players (homegrowns are exempt from the draft and do not have to be protected).
