RSL Reportedly Trades Seitz for Allocation $$$: This word came from Steve Goff at the Soccer Insider. It is assumed that the trade also came with assurance that Philadelphia would not select an RSL player. KIR has not yet been able to confirm this.

Update: although no confirmation was given, KIR's divining rod tells me that this is indeed correct. Look for details to come.
