Niko and Jeremiah discussed the likelihood of the very unexpected transfer rumor that surfaced about a potential Danny Leyva move to Necaxa of Liga MX. They talk about what the fee range might be in and what that cap space to do for the Sounders 2026 roster, including what the Leyva news might mean for Obed Vargas’ status. On the topic of other contracts the guys shared updates on Stefan Frei and Paul Rothrock seemingly being courted by Nashville SC. Frustrations about Craig Waibel’s public communication style and the search for Tacoma Defiance’s next head coach round out the show.
