Dynamo acquire allocation money, international spot in trade
The Dynamo have used their position atop the MLS allocation order to add to their valuable stockpile of league assets.
Houston traded the No. 1 spot to D.C. United in exchange for allocation money, an international roster spot for the 2018-19 season and D.C. United's No. 9 spot in the allocation order.
Steve Goff of the Washington Post broke the news that there was a trade. League sources later confirmed the trade to the Chronicle and added the details.
Goff also reported that D.C. United used the No. 1 spot to acquire forward Deshorn Brown, who had been playing with the USL's Tampa Bay Rowdies after being sold by the Colorado Rapids to Chinese club Shenzen last summer.
