The Salt is a recurring column focused on opinion and analysis on the latest Real Salt Lake news from RSL Soapbox managing editor Matt Montgomery.
In many ways, Real Salt Lake’s 2022 campaign was a long one. The season started in February; it ended in October. Eight months is not the longest an MLS season can last, but that doesn’t obviate that we might all rightly feel a little exhausted by the campaign.
That’s not to say that it was a bad campaign because of the exhausting nature of it, although I think there’s an argument there.
