The Dynamo on Tuesday traded defender Sheanon Williams to Vancouver Whitecaps FC in exchange for general allocation money.
Williams, a 26-year old full back, appeared in 36 games with the Dynamo since being acquired in a trade in July 2015. He started 20 games this season and had one assist.
The trade means the Dynamo have 17 players on their roster, including three players - Yair Arboleda, Keyner Brown and Jose Escalante - who are on loan through the end of December.
The Dynamo also are expecting the return of designated Erick Torres from a loan to Cruz Azul FC by the end of December.
