Major League Soccer Designated Player Discussion

Who said anything about using cash that would hurt the cap? I'm not talking about a transfer fee. I'm talking about the ownership delivering a bag of money to Columbus, OH.

I assume your joking.

What about bags of change?

Should we throw in a Coinstar to be kind?

Well I think financially the league is more the capable of handling the 4 DP slots, but that could create a lot of separation from the big market teams (Seattle, LA, us etc.) vs the smaller market teams that may not be able to handle more than 2 DP's. Its an interesting question, if they don't add a DP I think the salary cap should go up a little higher to around 5 million or so, but Twellman did say they will not keep it at 3 DP's so I bet one is added.

the 'but' here is says it; MLS seems hell bent on keeping the league close to parity, a fourth DP would blow that up.

Maybe bitcoin. It's what all the Cool Kids are doing.
