A ranking can be traded, provided that part of the compensation received in return is another club's ranking.[http://www.mlssoccer.com/2011-mls-roster-rules 2011 MLS Roster Rules {{pipe}} Major League Soccer] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110430101816/http://www.mlssoccer.com/2011-mls-roster-rules |date=April 30, 2011 }}
