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?
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.

They are basically using a hybrid framework from the NFL. It is socialistic as hell and it attempts to ensure all clubs can be operational year in and year out. Without significant TV revenue, they have to slowly implement the changes. You can't just go straight to unrestricted FA and just watch MLS just flounder in 2 years. The balance is necessary, but they have to also make sure the players are getting a piece of the pie.

Thats false

Reports on the transfer fee have ranged between $3.5m-$4m and the Sounders will get 75 percent of that due to Yedlin's Homegrown Player status. Of that 75 percent, $650,000 can be converted into allocation money. The rest? Let's allow Hanauer to explain:
"It provides us with some cash to reinvest in any aspect of our soccer business that we want, whether that’s in our youth side that allows us to develop two or three or four more DeAndre Yedlins or Designated Players or other soccer facilities and infrastructure that will put us in a strong position going forward."

The Dynamo also got 60 percent of the transfer fee for Geoff Cameron with 250k of it becoming allocation money which the team used part of to bring back Ricardo Clark.
