We couldn't renew his contract and sell him to Miami for say, 100K?
Oh well, I'm not a GM... but apparently Hamlett isn't one either.
Probably wouldn't be a great look to hold him hostage like that.

Why hold hostage? He wanted to go to Miami, Miami wanted him. Get them to give us a token allocation, and everyone goes home friends.
Same as Dax/Nashville.

Are you looking to sign another lock down outside back with that 50th pick?
;-)
agree nice move by Hamlett. Ali would not make that move - probably would think about how many pair of pants he could trade that pick for.
Bradley Wright-Phillips "I prefer it at Red Bull Arena, but it was OK. I could imagine it being good for a baseball crowd.

Not 50th pick. 50K in GAM/TAM, whatever. It all adds up.

Robles requested it. There are long-term implications as well. There are no guarantees Miami signs him if they are forced into a negotiation. Obviously a bit of GAM would be nice, but I would bet that some goodwill will help the team much more. Players talk. Agents talk. I think showing players that they will be treated with respect is a far better recruiting tool than a small amount of extra pocket change.
Happy for Robles, he's still a top gk in the league and hope he continues playing well down in Miami just not against us.
BTW I don't think there is a debate for all time RB/Metro gk rankings - Robles is at the top of the list.

sorry can't get on board with the call for extracting value in this case.
50K to add to our stockpile? or keep us below budget? which as we all know we are well below.
50K in goodwill is worth it especially since they think/have a starter in Ryan Meara who is much less cost. Who knows maybe Meara was getting ancy and passed on opportunities with understanding this was the plan.
People thru a s fit about how not letting Long go for ~3M is outrageous, and the whole Dax situation, but here they want little Garber bucks.
I'm ok with an emotional decision for Luis.
Miss Luis as he is a great player and amazing person (just in listening to him be interviewed)

I actually think the players association would take issue with the practice too - why have a re-entry draft then?
I don't get it. Player is on an option year. Team wants to move on. It finds a team the player wants to go and works out a deal beneficial to both teams. Everyone is happy. This is not a big deal and happens in every sport.
Heck, since MLS has a limit on 2 free agent signings per team, doing a this could actually HELP Miami sign another free agent.
