Position: Left Wing, Attacking Midfield
Age: 22
2022 MLS Season: 6 appearances, 0 starts, 70 minutes
Key Stat: 2, the number of times NYCFC claimed him off waivers in 2022
What went right in 2022:
When New York City FC claimed Matías Pellegrini off waivers the first time, in August of last year, it seemed like both a shrewd move (getting a highly-regarded 21-year-old Argentine winger valued at €4 on a free is good business), and a total head-scratcher: The club needed to reinforce its badly depleted midfield, not add more unrealized potential to the attack.
