ROGER ESPINOZA NEWS

Contract negotiations ongoing Espinoza's contract has run out with Sporting KC, and he will become a free agent on Jan. 1 if no new deal is agreed upon.

Impact Espinoza recorded one assist this season in 34 MLS appearances (24 starts) in midfield, but the 35-year-old ended the season as more of a backup option than a starter. Kansas City is still in discussions with Espinoza for a potential new contract, but if nothing materializes then he will enter free agency at the end of the year.
