When the spending question was asked, i wished someone followed up to see if RBNY was willing to buy down some of their DP contracts with garber bucks to non DP. i think it would have given us an idea on how much garber bucks RBNY still has available. I think Kaku's contract could be bought down and maybe Yearwood's contract. if there was any intent to buy them down, then that could be a sign that they are going to bring in a big contract or two.
Someone did actually ask this specifically about Yearwood. Thelwell basically gave a non-answer about how the mechanisms of MLS are complicated and he can't commit to anything right now but they'll do what they feel they need to in order to make the team better.
