[Bogert] Sources: Inter Miami sign free agent winger Fafa Picault. Picault, 33, had 9g/5a in 1,675 mins for Vancouver last season. Family reasons a big driving factor for Picault. There were advanced talks with Austin, but Picault is off to Miami.

My guess is the plan is for Ahmed to step into that front 3 until they secure their next attacking piece. He has the ability but he really needs to step up consistently now. But with Fafa gone and Deiber soon they’ll have room to add a quality attacking starter. That’s really the single biggest thing they’re missing. D and GK could be better but fully capable. It’s the one final offensive gamebreaker. Need to get that one right.

I mean I get it, but can this team stop bleeding talent to replace them with nothing for once? Let's pray there's something in the works, otherwise it's going to be a long half decade with how long it took to replace Pedro Morales.

How does inter Miami always seem to have cap space and roster spots open? They let gressel go I guess so that freed some up but they’re constantly signing guys. I don’t know where they put them all.

Don't worry, Garber has a wink-wink-nudge-nudge special salary cap for LA/Miami/NYC.

So we lose a dangerous striker while we all wait to see if our team leaves. This is just cruel.
