With two new franchises joining the league next year, Orlando SC and another New York city based team NYFC, there will be an expansion draft tomorrow. Teams needed to submit a list of players that these two franchises can draft to help fill out their rosters. The following is a list of players unprotected by the Revs and can be selected:
Barnes, Darrius
Bengston, Jerry
Dorman, Andy
Fagundez, Diego
Knighton, Brad
McCarthy, Stephen
Nasco, Joe
Soares, AJ
Taylor, Tony
Akpan, Andre
Jackson, Larry
Joseph, Shalrie
Mullins, Patrick
Neumann, Steven
Sanchez, Jossimar
Smith, Donne
Soffner, Luis
Sundly, Alec
These players can be selected by Orlando and NYFC in the draft tomorrow. A few surprises, Diego was left unprotected, but word is the Revs have a deal with Orlando and NYFC, so he will not be getting drafted. Also, surprise to see AJ Soares there, but ive seen Tweets today that there is interest in him from European teams. I am not sure how long his contract is, but if his contract is expiring this off season and there is interest from Europe in him, I don’t see him coming back to the Revs or MLS. There was a trade today involving the Revs, they traded forward Geoffrey Castillion and forward Dimitry Imbongo along with a 2rd rnd pick to Colorado for keeper Joe Nasco and a 3rd round pick. This was no doubt a cap cutting move. Castillion was almost 300k a year and Imbongo 125k a year, both rarely used this season.
