When new clubs join Major League Soccer, the league requests that existing clubs release protected player lists at the end of each campaign, and Orlando City SC did just that today.
With the 2022 MLS Expansion Draft taking place tomorrow (November 11th), new boys St. Louis City SC start construction of their inaugural 2023 roster, but the Missouri franchise will not be able to sign these 19 Lions.
NEWS: Orlando City SC Announces Protected List for 2022 MLS Expansion Draft.
— Orlando City SC (@OrlandoCitySC) November 10, 2022
That leaves these 10 current Orlando City SC players unprotected, and thus potentially St. Louis City SC bound.
