They also made a couple trade signings for General Allocation Money.

  • San Diego traded Thiago Andrade to Toronto FC for the No. 9 overall pick in the 2025 MLS SuperDraft, $250,000 in conditional General Allocation Money (GAM) and a sell-on percentage in any future move.

 

From the sounds of it Tyler Heaps wants to make more free signings since the free agency window starts tomorrow so they'll be able to scoop up a few players.

 

Strange selections from the draft and I don't see how they improve the squad.

Mikey Varas stated that the next DP signing will be a RW and they'll probably leave the 3rd DP open to sign someone next summer.

Erick Gutierrez from Chivas was linked with San Diego with the transfer said to be close but nothing confirmed just yet.

There were some issues with compatibility with the sortioutsi transfer update file (transferring San Diego players to the wrong team and releasing them as free agents) so I've included a modified version of the sortioutsi transfer update in the San Diego zip so you can use it to have the latest transfers but not interfere with San Diego's transfers.
