Orlando City announced this afternoon that the club has received $50,000 in Targeted Allocation Money (TAM) from Columbus Crew SC in exchange for the rights to goalkeeper Joe Bendik.
Bendik had been Orlando City’s number one since 2016, but his performance fell off during the 2018 MLS season. The club decided not to exercise his option at the end of the season but retained his rights until the end of the calendar year. By acquiring his rights now, the Crew have a few days to come to terms with him before his deal officially expires.
