Does your favorite MLS team look anything like they did in March? Or even last month? Probably not.
Nearly every team in the league has signed a player or three in the last month, which isn't so uncommon, but the number of impact players being added to some of the best teams are. The Sounders, Impact, Dynamo and Rapids have all added Designated Players, while the Galaxy and Red Bulls have gotten much-needed help at the back. Everyone is getting in on the signing action. Even Chivas signed Erick 'Cubo' Torres. It's like a signing party.
