I was just thinking the same thing. "Trade value" of players can be pretty wacky in Major League Soccer. Good players seem to get traded for peanuts, released, or simply not offered new contracts all the time. Look at some of the players that have fallen into TFC's lap for seemingly nothing - some small amount of allocation, late draft picks (worthless in this league), no name players, or for simply nothing.

Conventional wisdom would dictate that DeRo has pretty good trade value, but MLS roster moves seem to violate the rules of conventional wisdom for pro sports all the time. The tight salary cap seems to drive teams to madness.
