Dayne St. Clair officially announced by Inter Miami but the interesting thing to me is the contract length.
1 yr deal w/an option for the 2027 sprint season that’ll run Feb-May 27 ahead of the calendar shift.
Expect to see those types of terms in upcoming new MLS contracts

Wrexham on a tear lately. The holidays have been great to the Red Dragons who after winning 2-1 over Derby away today, have now won 4 in a row since Dec 26.
They’re now within 1 point of the top 6 and a playoff position in the Championship.

Highly entertaining Old Firm. Rangers withstood a lot early, stayed in the match long enough to find holes in Celtic’s defense - mainly in transition moments. And then stayed strong enough defensively to see it out.
A statement match to pull Rangers even in the Premiership.

If there’s one constant with @stlcitysc.com, it’s that everything they put out is intentional. Especially something like this. #STLRising and this message from CK to fans sets the tone for the year - and it follows a rough #AllForCITY year.

So the net result for Colorado is that in order to sign a player they already had under contract in their organization, they sacrificed a video analyst/assistant coach.
Epic MLS'ing over here.

In the most MLS trade of all time, Toronto FC traded their first round draft pick to Colorado for a video analyst/assistant coach.
Colorado then used that pick to select a player already under contract at their club for 2026.
