LAFC lifted the MLS Cup and the USMNT went off to the FIFA World Cup in Qatar, but MLS is still making waves. The announcement that NYCFC will have a stadium of their own by 2027 in Flushing, Queens, the kit drop by St. Louis CITY SC, and the list of available free agents as of yesterday.
MLS free agency is a thing to digest, MLS free agency requirements stipulate a player must be 24 years old and have at least five seasons in the league to qualify in that category.
Among the free agents for 2023, the biggest names on the list include two USMNT World Cup roster players, NYCFC captain Sean Johnson and NY Red Bulls defender Aaron Long. Below the rest of the list.
