The New York Red Bulls broke with longstanding tradition and made a selection in the MLS Waiver Draft. Indeed, apparently once the club had decided it wasn’t going to make its time-honored “pass” contribution to the Waiver Draft, it got positively giddy and traded away a draft pick for the privilege of making the first pick.
Sporting Director Denis Hamlett pitched San Jose Earthquakes the Red Bulls’ second round pick in the 2019 MLS SuperDraft in exchange for the right to walk to the front of the Waiver Draft line and pick Marcus Epps.
