After much discussion, it's finally here: The 2014 MLS Expansion Draft starts at 2pm today, and fans will be able to listen in (see below). Orlando City SC and New York City FC have 21 players between them already under contract, and today they could add up to 20 more.

United, today could see as many as two players depart for our new Eastern Conference foes.
