This month, we’re celebrating three years of independence. We think we’ve accomplished a lot in that time. We’d love it if you considered supporting our efforts.

I get why fans are so mad at this. The guy has 5 straight seasons of 10+ g+a in all comps and has 12 in 19 this season alone. His radar looks like this. Not a player you want to see leave for such a low fee.
Matt Baker @mattbakerstl.bsky.social
Marcel Hartel to Hannover is reportedly official and the fee is… not good.
Hartel was one of the best chance creators in MLS with 24g/13a in all comps for @stlcitysc.com in 2 full years. He was under contract through June 2028 and now goes for less than €1m. #AllForCITY

The great thing about the independence is they really go for it when it comes to attack.

What happens when everyone starts chasing the same thing? What happens when the means start becoming less relevant? What happens when everyone, everywhere, is working in shades of Anthropic orange?
