Ugh. According to SoccerByIves, RBNY is considering dealing midfielder Dave van den Bergh, possibly to FC Dallas. The club is reluctant to pay the winger the approximate $270K that he wants.

(Meanwhile, they can't be reluctant to pay $192K to Juan Pietravallo because he signed a guaranteed deal. That sound you heard is us punching our fist through the wall. Ugh.)

Although van den Bergh is a free agent, he is not free to move inside MLS, because RBNY has given him a qualifying offer. At this point, his options are: sign with RBNY, sign with RBNY and be traded to another club, or sign with a team outside MLS.
