Hopefully they can get the situation changed, so individual clubs own contracts. I know the new guard of owners want that, but the old guard don't. (MLS owners are split down the middle, with clubs like Seattle on one side and clubs like Dallas on the other. Seattle wants change, Dallas does not)

Huh? MLB and NBA have fully guaranteed contracts, the NHL did and might still, and the NFL players often receive bonus money in exchange for not fully guaranteed contracts, while all of the big four have free agency, salary minimums are in the low-to-mid six figures, and the clubs (not the league) dictate player movement. Big name players have no-trade clauses in their contracts and each league has rules for 5-and-10/veterans of a certain number of years having the right to refuse trades.
