Taylor, Joe, and Gass dig into a whole host of MLS topics on this one. First, they talk through MLS's decision to avoid making any relevant changes to their roster rules ahead of next season. Why did MLS make that call? And what does it mean? Then, it's on to a pair of big offseason signings. What will the Red Bulls get out of Emil Forsberg? And does that move show a sign of things to come from Red Bull Global? Plus, how important will Josh Cohen be for Atlanta United? Finally, it's on to some coaching chat. How should Revs fans feel about the Caleb Porter hire? What about Charlotte fans with Dean Smith? Or Red Bull fans with Sandro Schwarz?
