The MLSPA has released their latest salary update, and we've got a full picture of how teams allocate their salary budget.

Inter Miami spend a whopping 72% of their budget on their three DPs, who earn more than every other MLS club's entire roster combined.

We can also partially gauge how efficient teams are at spending. Supporters' Shield winners Philadelphia Union spent just $203k per point and $235k per goal scored. Contrast that with Atlanta United, who dropped $1.017 million per point and $750k per goal.

MLS loves the shortcuts. Assigning teams rivals for rivalry week. focus tested match day traditions, throwback jerseys for teams founded in 2019, bending rules for “big names” while maintaining those rules to avoid finding and courting serious ownership groups. And now farming coverage to ChatGPT
As someone whose time freelancing for MLSsoccer was a vital step in my career progression, and someone who generally gleans insight from the observations of others:

This sucks so hard.
