Red Bull is reported to be $800,000 under the salary cap for acquisitions. Will Mexican midfield trialist Jose De Jesus Mendoza make the cut? With both of the club's DP slots taken (Angel, Reyna), acquiring another name player is probably out of the question. If New York is serious about challenging an improved DC squad in the MLS East this season, some quality midfield additions are a must.
