Philadelphia Union made news Wednesday evening, announcing that the club could acquire up to $200,000 in General Allocation Money from FC Cincinnati in exchange for the Union's five 2019 MLS SuperDraft selections.
Reactions to the deal have been positive, with many seeing the transaction of Union Sporting Director Ernst Tanner as one that could change the league going forward.
This is incredible. That's really quite a remarkable piece of business. Maybe this will signal the end of the SuperDraft. It's a really odd mechanism when you think about it and I really don't understand why it's a thing.
