The agreement, a major victory for the players, must be ratified by the league and union members, which is expected. MLS is the only major professional sports league in the U.S. that requires its teams to use commercial flights. The players also won concessions on free agency and charter flights, two issues the union considered vital. Under the old CBA, players had to be at least 28 years old with at least eight seasons of MLS service to be eligible for free agency. For the first time, designated players and those earning more than the maximum salary also will be eligible for free agency.
