MLS Re-Entry Draft: Giving Context
With the re-entry draft upon us, I thought it might be helpful to add some context for each of the players eligible in the re-entry draft: base salary, age, minutes played, and Castrol Index ranking.
(If you want to know the rules of the re-entry draft, let me recommend Jonathan Tannenwald’s excellent breakdown of the rules of the process.)
