The Seattle Sounders acquired $150,000 in 2023 General Allocation Money from the Columbus Crew in exchange for an international roster spot for the remainder of this season. The trade leaves the Sounders with one open international roster spot despite having now traded away five of those spots this year.
Those five trades have netted the Sounders $500,000 in 2023 GAM and an additional $250,000 in 2024 GAM.
The trade would suggest the Sounders are at least hoping to be active in the summer transfer window, as GAM operates under a use-it-or-lose-it system.
