Lee said there was "good alignment" with Zavagnin and Burns on the roster decisions, but added "of course, there's always one or two or three that may fall into a gray area where you have a difference of opinion."

Lee said #SportingKC are "trending" towards the 2 Designated Player model for "at least the start of the season."
