    I would imagine it's a tentative deal, based on the players ratifying it through a vote

    I have this odd feeling of deja vu, but maybe it's just the statement we're all expecting at the start of the next season. Along with the annual scouting trip to brazil.

    MLS and union near 5-year deal



    A person familiar with the negotiations tells The Associated Press that Major League Soccer and its players are near agreement on a five-year contract that would avoid a strike scheduled for next week.
    The deal was likely to be announced Saturday, the person said, speaking on condition of anonymity because the announcement had not been made.
    The MLS Players Union had said it would strike if an agreement wasn't reached before the league opener on March 25.
    Negotiators began intensive talks Thursday in Washington, D.C.

    It looks like sanity has prevailed! I hope this announcement will pave the way for MoJo to get off his arse and sign some much needed reinforcements...

    I disagree. The strike threat was credible. I'd wager the players got a lot of what they're looking for, not full free agency, but something a lot more interesting to them than the current system.
