As of mid-January, the highlights of the New York Red Bulls’ off-season are limited to drafts. The team lost Hassan N’Dam to FC Cincinnati in the Expansion draft, receiving $50,000 of General Allocation Money (GAM) in return. They acquired Amro Tarek for a fourth-round SuperDraft pick and selected Marcus Epps in the Waiver Draft.
It was the MLS SuperDraft where RBNY made its most significant moves of the off-season to date. For the cost of $100,000 GAM and the MLS rights to Amando Moreno, New York acquired three additional picks in the first two rounds of the draft and selected the quartet of Roy Boateng, Janos Loebe, Sean Nealis, and Rece Buckmaster.
