New York Red Bulls trade Dru Yearwood to Nashville SC for $75,000 in allocation money in both 2024 and 2025. Yearwood has spent four season with the Red Bulls, signing from Brentford in England as a young designated player in 2020. 

"The positive energy he brought every day was amazing," said Head of Sport Jochen Schneider. "Dru is a great human being and we are wishing him well in his next opportunity."

Yearwood made a total of 86 appearances for the club, scoring three goals and notching three assists during that time. Last season he made 11 starts and 20 appearances. His max amount of starts was 18 in 2021 and 2022. 

This move gives New York more salary room for future signings with the team being rumored as major players in the transfer market this January. Tom Barlow is also still rumored to be moving on in the coming days.

photo by Matt Kremkau by Anthony J. Merced As preseason winds down with one game left to play, the players ready and available for Sandro Schwarz become more clear. Dante Vanzeir, who ended his 2023 with a back injury, has seemingly found the form the team hoped to get last year and goalkeeper AJ Marcucci looks ready to prove himself as an MLS goalkeeper with a solid performance on Wednesday. While there are positives from players coming back from injury, one player who still appears to be looking for fitness is Lewis Morgan. The 2022 top scorer for the Red Bulls, saw himself on the sidelines for most of 2023. Now, in preseason, he finds himself still working towards fitness according to head coach Sandro Schwarz. "We don't make risks for him," said Schwarz when asked if Lewis would feature in the team's last preseason game. "He's only in team training since two days.

Editorial: New York Red Bulls are Fun to Watch

photo by Matt Kremkau by Daniel Feuerstein The New York Red Bulls 2024 season starts off and running. In their first three matches, they have looked different from their last five to six seasons of doom and despair when trying to attack or have a lapse in judgment on the defensive end. The two big editions for the club are undoubtedly the imports from Sweden in Centerback Noah Elle & attacking midfielder Emil Forsberg. Two players who are a part of the Swedish National Team have started off well in Major League Soccer. We all knew what we were getting right away from Forsberg. A high-energy creative and attacking midfielder who was already bought in from day one, when Director of Sport Jochen Schneider went to Leipzig and brought him over. He was already committed to making the trip to the United States to play his brand of soccer, and so far he hasn't disappointed. Even though he has come close three times off of free kicks, hitting the crossbar twice and being saved by the ke...
