Daily News | Why the Union picked one of their own reserve team’s players in the MLS draft
in the first round of Major League Soccer’s college draft Wednesday for the first time since 2016. But it seemed even stranger that in the second round, the Union picked one of their own reserve team’s players, forward Stefan Stojanovic.First of all, they probably didn’tto sign him. But because of a quirk in the draft’s rules, a small number of players from outside college soccer were eligible for selection.
In March, Stojanovic turned pro and signed with Union II, as the reserve team is officially known, in the MLS Next Pro league. Players who sign pro deals directly with a reserve team go on a separate payroll from the first team’s. In other words, if the Union had not put Stojanovic in the draft pool, he would not have been eligible for selection. Because they did, he was. Whichever team drafted him would have effectively earned the right to be first in line to sign him to an MLS contract. So the Union gambled a little bit, and ended up winning the gamble.
