Philadelphia Union unscathed again in MLS Expansion Draft

Five Eastern Conference teams had players drafted by St. Louis City SC in the 2022 MLS Expansion Draft but none were named the Philadelphia Union.

St. Louis drafted Nicholas Gioacchini from Orlando City, Indiana Vassilev from Inter Miami, Jon Bell from New England Revolution, John Nelson from FC Cincinnati and Jake LaCava from New York Red Bulls in the draft on Friday night. Those teams will receive $50,000 in general allocation money.

LaCava was quickly traded to Inter Miami for allocation money and Tim Parker was acquired from Houston for $500,000 in general allocation money.
