For one final time in 2023, the gang gets together to talk offseason news and rumors. Mike hosts and talks with Alex Reiter, Cleon, and JJ about the offseason moves made by Orlando City so far. This includes a mutual termination of contract between OCSC and long time captain Maurico Parerya & the release of 2019 Open Cup folk hero Adam Grinwis. We also debate who the most likely loan purchase will be between Ivan Angulo & Wilder Cartegena (literally the night before he was bought on a free transfer of course, because we can't have nice things), and Mike even got into his wishlist for MLS free agents. We finished by talking about the road before us in the 2024 CONCACAF Champions Cup as we travel to face Canadian Premier League side Cavalry FC.  Thanks to all who have listened in 2023 and we look forward to bringing exciting new content to you all in 2024.

With sadness in their hearts, Alex Brown, Eddie, Alex Reiter and Mike react to Orlando City's ousting from the 2023 MLS Cup playoffs.

We also got into the current pending roster questions and how this will impact our plans for 2024.
