Summary

Jeff Rueter joins Taylor and Joe to discuss the latest from around MLS. Up first: why did MLS decide not to shift to the European calendar with the 2026 World Cup on the horizon? Could a change still be on the table? Then, we chat about the Columbus Crew’s acquisition of Daniel Gazdag from the Philadelphia Union. What other teams are in the market ahead of next week’s deadline day? Finally, we ponder: which teams should we be worried about after the first eight games of 2025? All that — and more — on the show. WE HAVE A YOUTUBE CHANNEL! We're posting all our episodes here! Smash the like and subscribe etc.! JOIN THE TSS+ PATREON!
