It's a good thing MLS has increased the TAM clubs have to spend. Orlando City has traded more
than $3 million in allocation money or conditional allocation money to acquire Dwyer, Rosell, Kljestan and Meram, not to mention buy down their salary charges.
Both Yotun and Colman
required transfer fees, making them Designated Players, though Colman, only 19, qualifies as a Young Designated Player with a lower salary charge.
