I was looking around for the MLS Salaries, thinking I would just look at last year’s numbers as I didn’t think the numbers for 2008 had been leaked yet… when low and behold I come across this page on the MLS Players Union site that lists all the MLS Salaries through June 5th for 2008. So here’s the FC Dallas list.
Notable is Abdus Ibrahim (traded to Toronto), Arturo Alvarez’s raise (traded to San Jose), and Juan Toja’s bump after having his contract purchased (sold). Ray Burse on with a senior developmental number as reported, Portland was paying him as well so he was moved down. One would think he will go back up if he is in Dallas only for now. Andrew Daniels and Michael Dello-Russo both moved up into open senior roster spots. Only one junior developmental player, Chase Wileman.
