Im not sure how the league works but why not let the league pay for the players( pay the transfer fee and a bounus/lump sum) then have a free agency type systems for the teams buying from the league where they pay only the salary?

The league owns and pays the players within the CBA framework. They pay the transfer fees. What they allow clubs to subsidize are Designated player. It counts 350k toward the cap, but the club is responsible for that player's salary, not the league.

Its basically the only major league in the world working under the franchise system.
When the league owns all the contracts and then does the negotiating it can limit what a club wants to do. It also makes it a pain for clubs in other countries to do deal with the MLS b/c its not very easy.
One of the biggest rip offs was the Yedlin sale. The MLS got almost all the transfer and gave some to the Sounders b/c he was a home talent. That's total bullshite if a player comes through your academy and gets sold and you only get a small fraction on the profits.
