Major League Soccer has become heavily reliant on the use of General and Targeted Allocation Money (GAM and TAM) over the past few years and this season we have seen that increase even more. Prior to the 2017 season Minnesota and Orlando City made some noise when they set a record for funds exchanged in Minnesota’s acquisition of Kevin Molino. Orlando City received $450k in GAM and $200K in TAM. Prior, Chicago acquired Dax McCarty from New York for $400k in GAM. More recently, Orlando City moved some of their acquired Garber Buck from Minnesota, to Sporting KC.
