You still only have 3 designated player slots. If you're a team that is using those slots, what's the point? And I'm sure it is a nice way to produce higher profit, but it doesn't help the product on the field or US soccer. It just helps mitigate risk for bad owners.
For all the talk I hear about how they handle development and transfers just fine, Jozy Altidore still remains the top transfer a decade later. Is this because the talent level is so garbage or because MLS doesn't want to become a sellers league? Why are guys like Larin still in this league instead of being moved to higher levels of competition where they belong?
