Tom Bogert

He will be here on opening day.

And let's see if they get a new contract done.

But he's under contract for another couple of years.

It's a good question.

It's a fair question, right?

This is a club that has had sanctions for cheating in the past.

They signed Blaise Matuidi.

They claimed he was a TAM player.

He was actually a DP, and it actually wasn't really close.

And part of those sanctions, they had another player, a center back named Andres Reyes, who ironically wasn't very good.

So he was their fifth designated player.

So it is fair.

I understand why people would ask, but...

For me, it's more interesting to go deal by deal to either explain or have questions.

So David Ajala, one of the new signings, U22 player.

Those players hit the cap at a fixed number, easily explained, done.

Mikael, the center back, he's on loan.

Very easy to explain why you can get that done without being a DP deal because there's no transfer fee.

Okay, done.

German Bertrambe, the center forward, they're signing for Monterey for $15 million.
