Facundo Torres, Mr Orlando himself, might be headed to Austin FC.
I don’t love the move- partially because it always irks me when a player leaves and comes back to a new team so soon.
Partially because I wanted so much Jayden Nelson this season.
Electric player.

🇵🇱 Sources: Houston Dynamo getting closer on a deal to sign Matuesz Bogusz from Cruz Azul.
Nothing agreed/done yet, but progressing. Still work to do, including finishing personal terms.

Won’t be buying a Charlotte FC kit this year.
This looks like a kid design and hit the “reverse color” option on the white.

St Louis City kit leak, as posted on MLS Reddit.
I see what they’re going for… but maybe have a winning record before releasing a gold kit….?

Zanka looked promising for the LA Galaxy when he was signed, but that backline was garbage last year.
Can’t imagine this is a shock, as the LAG have already gotten a few CBs this offseason. #MLS

Robert Voloder is exactly as described- a strong, capable defender.
I support this move because RBNY needed the CB depth, and adding a peace the new coach wants is a plus. #MLS

#MLS kit leaks all look like they’re going to be very different on authentic and replica kits.
