Expansion Draft Watchlist: Were there any changes following the playoff exit?

Related Topics: Matt Hedges

A little over a month ago we revealed our first look at who we think FC Dallas will protect in the upcoming Expansion Draft.

Now that the regular season and playoffs are done, it is to once again revisit that list and see if there are any updates worth making. As you might expect, there would be at least one change.

Projected Protected list:

  • Kellyn Acosta
  • Tesho Akindele
  • Michael Barrios
  • Mauro Diaz (DP)
  • Maynor Figueroa
  • Carlos Gruezo (DP)
  • Matt Hedges
  • Ryan Hollingshead
  • Maxi Urruti
  • Walker Zimmerman
  • Victor Ulloa

Exempt list:

  • Coy Craft (Homegrown)
  • Jesse Gonzalez (Homegrown)
  • Aaron Guillen (Homegrown)
  • Moises Hernandez (Homegrown)
  • Paxton Pomykal (Homegrown)

I mentioned in the previous post that a lot could change depending on the Homegrown status of players like Victor Ulloa and Jesse Gonzalez.
