A preview of the MLS transfer window

Today marks the opening of the MLS Secondary Transfer Window, also known as the summer transfer window. This is the window in which players from overseas are more likely to be acquired, as they will be in their offseasons in all the major leagues of Europe and South America. The opening of the secondary transfer window also allows for intra-league trades, a market in which Dave Kasper has been successful in the past; with the team needing a dramatic overhaul, expect some movement over the course of the next month.

The window is open until August 9, and allows all the primary methods of acquiring players: discovery signing, trades, and homegrown player signings.
