Let’s say you could get Gyasi Zardes’s per-90 production — still not far off the levels from a few years ago when Zardes was a consistent double-digit goal scorer — but make him league-elite level in passing and make him 28 years old. Oh, for fun, let’s put a chip on his shoulder and give him something to prove after being let go from a team that was paying him a paltry $98,687 last season.
Does this sound worth, let’s say, somewhere in the neighborhood of $300,000? Keep in mind that top-tier striker that Austin FC might be eyeing might not be available until next summer, and they’ll need someone to share duties with Zardes in the short term.
Well, then, you might be interested in Danny Musovski. And by “you might be,” I mean Austin FC sporting director Rodolfo Borrell might be.
