Sporting Kansas City has a fairly poor history with signing free agents in MLS. However, in the 2022-23 offseason, the rules have gotten a little better. No longer are all the players on the list at the very end of their careers (though there are still a bunch of those guys), instead they only need to be 24-years-old and have five years of MLS service to be a free agent. Because of that, there are actually a lot of quality guys on the list, many of which are already drawing interest around the league.
Before we get into who Sporting KC should look at signing, it’s worth looking at what their positions of need are.
