After a week of negotiating and re-signing, MLS has released an updated list of players eligible for Friday's Stage 1 Re-Entry Draft.
Following the release of the initial list of eligible players on Monday, clubs had the option to sign Re-Entry-eligible players until 5 pm ET on Thursday, while players had until the same time to opt out of the Re-Entry Process.
The list below contains all players still eligible for the Re-Entry Draft. Of the notable players on the original list, Gonzalo Segares re-signed with the Chicago Fire while Josh Gardner landed with Sporting Kansas City after having his option declined by Montreal.
The Stage One draft of the Re-Entry Process will take place on Friday at 2 pm CT and the Stage Two draft will take place the following Friday, Dec. 14, at 2 pm CT. The two drafts will take place via teleconference with all 19 clubs represented. MLS will release the results following each of the calls.
Both Stage One and Stage Two drafts will be conducted in the same order as the traditional Waiver Draft, which means Toronto FC will have the first choice in both stages as the team that finished 2012 with the worst record, followed by Chivas USA and so on (click here to view the selection order).
Clubs must exercise the option for, or extend a Bona Fide Offer to, all players selected in Stage 1. Players that were out of contract may either accept or reject the Bona Fide Offer. Should a player reject the offer, the drafting club will hold the right of first refusal for that player in MLS. Players with option years left on their contract will automatically be added to the drafting club’s roster.
