Sporting Kansas City put out their MLS Expansion Draft protected list on Saturday morning and there were a couple surprises. The biggest of note were that CB Botond Barath and utility man Jimmy Medranda were both left exposed. Literally no writers from The Blue Testament predicted this in our roundtable piece.
Here are the players the team chose to protect per SportingKC.com:
In addition, as we detailed before, Homegrown players are automatically protected. So the team didn’t have to use one of their 12 spots on Gianluca Busio, Cameron Duke, Tyler Freeman, Felipe Hernandez, Wan Kuzain, Jaylin Lindsey or Daniel Salloi.
