Friday’s MLS SuperDraft in LA was an almost silent affair for Orlando City, which had no picks in either of the day’s two rounds. The Lions may have played around with the idea of trading up, but in the end said they were content with staying put.
The Lions were, however, the conversation of some draft-day trade chatter, with Goal.com reporting that Minnesota United, which joins the league this season led by former Orlando City boss Adrian Heath, was making a strong push for Orlando’s two-time USL MVP, Kevin Molino.
The club was quick to shoot down those rumors, telling the media that Molino is not for sale, despite Minnesota reportedly making a “sizable offer” for the Trinidadian midfielder.
