The Monorail Episode: Baltimore Stadium Deal, Spirit Trade Bethune & DC United Preseason Update

Ted and Jon break down Jason Levien's big Baltimore press conference — a 12-15K seat stadium, public money asks, Carmelo Anthony, and zero interim plan for MLS Next Pro. Plus DC United is giving away free tickets to the home opener after spending $11 million on the roster.

On the pitch: another 0-0 preseason draw against Minnesota, rookie Markovic emerging as a potential starter, and the team beating St. Louis 3-1 behind closed doors — because they can only score when nobody's watching.

Then: the Washington Spirit trade Bethune to Kansas City. It stings, but this roster is deep enough to handle it.

Want the extended show? Ted and Jon sit down with Todd Lewis from the Free Kick Pod for a full Philadelphia Union preview ahead of Saturday's home opener — Tiburcio scouting report, the Kai Wagner hole, Champions League in Trinidad against a team literally made up of the defense force, and a score prediction DC fans will like.
