Major League Soccer has revealed the names of the players who will be made available in the upcoming MLS Re-Entry Draft.
Bobby Boswell, Bobby Convey, Joe Cannon and Andy Williams are just some of the veterans left exposed by their MLS teams in the Re-Entry Draft, which will be held on Tuesday.
Teams can still sign or trade players they have left exposed in the Re-Entry Draft, and have until Friday to do so. Here is a full rundown of all the rules involving the MLS Re-Entry process, which is essentially a form of free agency established by the new MLS Collective Bargaining Agreement in 2010.
Tuesday is the first of two phases of the Re-Entry process. The first phase gives teams the option to pick up available players at their current salary figures. The second phase is the period when teams can negotiate new contracts with available players.
The order for the draft is based on reverse order of the 2011 MLS standings, with the expansion Montreal Impact selecting 19th.
Here is the full list of players available in Tuesday's MLS Re-Entry Draft:
