Options Not Picked Up All Around - Former Sporting Player Update

Monday was the deadline for MLS teams eliminated from the MLS Cup playoffs to submit to the league their list of players whose options they were picking up and declining. As teams announced the list of players, there were a large number of former Kansas City players who were having their options declined. Joining new former Sporting players, Cameron Iwasa, Soni Mustivar, Kevin Oliveira, and Tyler Pasher in having their options declined: Bernardo Anor (Minnesota), Servando Carrasco (Orlando), Michael Harrington (Chicago), Jon Kempin (LA), Eric Kronberg (Montreal), Mikey Lopez (NYCFC), Amobi Okugo (Portland), and Sal Zizzo (New York). Those players will enter into the waiver draft, re-entry draft, free agency, or re-sign for a lower price with their current teams. The moves shrink the number of former KC players in MLS, but some of these players will land somewhere in MLS before next season.
