Yamil Asad days until our first match!

What began as a trial for Lucho’s buddy turned into what might have been the steal of the year in MLS. Asad was on a supplemental contract that paid him just $89,716 last season. In all competitions, he racked up 6 goals and 5 assists, averaging an incredible $8,156 per goal contribution. Go ahead—try to find a better deal in the league. For context, Lucho came in at $124,012 per goal contribution.

It’s no surprise Asad wanted more money—he absolutely earned it. But with the club’s roster constraints, finding that payday here just wasn’t in the cards. Now it’s up to him to secure the bag somewhere else… so far he hasn’t.
