Wait a minute - is this correct? I thought the -only-exception that MLS 
granted United was for a replacement for Bobby Convey. All other moves had 
to take place before the 20th. And, I'm not sure but it would also seem 
sporting for United to not have even that option, since it turns out 
Convey's still on the roster.

Or is there another exception being made here? Not that I mind the idea of 
Martins playing in MLS - he's been phenomenal for Pittsburgh this year - 
but my first impression is that the MLS "rules" are getting bent some more.
