Was it an honest mistake, a book keeping snafu? The investigation by MLS into the inking of Blaise Matuidi continues to see if this addition was in step with the leagues League Roster & Budget Rules of 2020. Already this probe has shown that Miami was not in step with these rules. Last year, Matuidi, set as a TAM player, but his pay was above that threshold, making him a DP, thusly they violated the DP Limit with 3 plus him on the season.
In the off-season, the team bought out one of their DP's, Matias Pellegrini, putting them into accord with the DP number for 2021.
As the MLS finishes up their query, they will determine appropiate punishments shortly
