Sam McDowell of the Kansas City Star is reporting that Soony Saad and Kevin Ellis won’t travel to Scottsdale, Arizona where preseason is set to begin on Monday.
The Ellis news is not surprising as it had previously been reported that Sporting Kansas City had been in trade talks regarding Kevin Ellis. That makes sense as Ellis and the team had been at odds and he agreed to take a voluntary leave last season (it should be noted MLS teams aren’t allowed to suspend players per the CBA).
