Catching Up With Player Moves - Part II

A couple weeks ago I posted the start of a comprehensive list to track all player moves before the season starts. I haven't noticed anyone doing this and it seemed an important thing to keep track of for future use. We tend to forget things like when last year the Rapids traded a major allocation to Toronto for Conor Casey with Toronto FC picking up part of Casey's salary for the year. There have been some more player moves since then. As always, please share any additions or corrections.
