According to Jeff Carlisle from ESPN, Orlando City SC has reached a deal to acquire Sacha Kljestan from The Red Bulls. The Red Bulls will send Sacha Kljestan and $150,000 in TAM (Target allocation money) to Orlando City SC, and in return will receive Carlos Rivas and Tommy Redding.
How does the trade affect Orlando City SC?
Orlando City SC will get MLS’ 2016 & 2017 assist leader who is coming off arguably the best two years of his career. Orlando City SC also gets valuable TAM money, which they can potentially use to knock down Kljestan’s DP contract to better manage their team’s salaries.
