The San Jose Earthquakes are the best team in MLS right now with the lowest squad value in the league. San Jose's squad is valued at $25.3M (per Transfermarkt), the league average is $53.7M. 69% of their squad is American, the highest in the league, with the majority sourced from NCAA. 10 of their 12 core Americans aged 20-28 came through the college pathway. 7 arrived directly via the draft across 4 consecutive cycles. The combined value of that 12 player cohort: ~$15M - some MLS clubs spend more on a single player. The cost efficiency is impressive but the real point is the squad's shared context. Many of San Jose's players came through overlapping pipelines and development environments - same draft cycle, California colleges and hometowns, integrated via the 2nd team. They have shared developmental DNA. This level of squad cohesion has real on-pitch impact and is a clear competitive advantage in a league where most clubs have little to no domestic core or shared backgrounds. The results are a significant enough for every MLS club to re-think how they build teams in this league. The dominant model - DPs on enormous salaries, internationals recruited at a premium, the domestic market as squad filler, draft picks as currency - optimizes for expenditure and acquisition at the expense of cohesion. A team with shared DNA is very different than a collection of talent.

I didn’t see a single “it’s gonna be May” meme this year which is personally a massive relief, but culturally a signifier of something much darker.
