Targeted Allocation Money

Targeted Allocation Money (TAM) is a financial tool used by Major League Soccer teams to improve their rosters. It allows teams to sign or pay for players beyond salary cap limits, often used to acquire or retain designated players. TAM provides teams with flexibility to strengthen their squad without exceeding salary budget constraints, focusing on key positional needs or boosting overall team quality. It’s a strategic investment to enhance competitiveness, giving clubs more control over player salaries within the league’s financial rules.
