Even in the offseason the MLS and the soccer world around the league have been a whirlwind of action. The MLS SuperDraft, the US Soccer Presidential elections, the international transfer window, plus the announcement of the forthcoming franchise in Miami.
This past offseason has seen a surge of inter-league transfers, including Darlington Nagbe, Justin Meram, Benny Feilhaber, Ola Kamara, David Accam, and Sacha Kljestan to name a few. February not only marks when teams hit full stride in preseason training but also the chance for MLS fans to catch matches against lower league opponents and international friendlies before the Open Cup or summer.
