How can Sporting Kansas City look at transfer market inefficiencies to build a Cup contending roster?

After finishing 12^th in the Western Conference and 22^nd overall, Peter Vermes and Sporting Kansas City will need to refresh to compete in 2023. The big question is: how can Sporting best compete in a league where LAFC has three DPs – none of which are Gareth Bale or Georgio Chiellini? The same league where Riqui Puig is playing for the LA Galaxy without occupying a DP spot, even though he made $5 million per year at Barcelona. As the preseason looks to kick off, Sporting KC has little wiggle room in their roster build.
