Here's my story for MLSsoccer.com about the situation in which Clavijo and Hartman's agent Ron Waxman give their sides of the story.

According to a statement e-mailed to me by Clavijo, the sides could not come to terms on a new contract while in talking to Waxman on the phone, he insisted there were no contract negotiations and the decision by FC Dallas took Hartman and his agent very much by surprise.

It will be very interesting to see the direction FC Dallas goes after this move as according to one of our readers, Chris Seitz said on a Sirius XM radio show last night that his contract has been picked up for next season while Richard Sanchez signed an extension through 2015 just a few weeks ago.
