It’s the time of year that many fans (and players) look forward to: The MLS Players salary release. The MLSPA releases these numbers twice per year usually; one in the spring in and once in the fall. It is typically released around May 15, but the MLSPA tells Sounder At Heart they decided to delay the release until after the winter transfer window closed. This allowed them to incorporate last-minute signings that occurred as the window shut.
Further, the MLSPA indicated they wanted to do additional analysis of the player salaries. These change directly affected the Seattle Sounders, as they signed two players at the close of the transfer window: Xavier Arreaga and Joevin Jones.
