As MLS free agency continues to evolve, the field of available players should only get stronger. Last year, the Seattle Sounders became the first team to sign a Designated Player through that process when they lured Albert Rusnák away from Real Salt Lake. This year’s field includes quite a few intriguing options, with New York Red Bulls centerback Aaron Long being near the top.
The Sounders are among the teams who “in the mix” for Long’s services, according to a report in Pro Soccer Wire. The Red Bulls are believed to be the team most likely to sign Long, but Seattle, the LA Galaxy, Inter Miami and Colorado Rapids are also apparently interested.
