In what has been a bounce-back year for Nashville SC, the Boys in Gold landed three players on the MLS All-Star roster for the first time in club history. Two of the names were to be expected: highly compensated designated players Hany Mukhtar and Sam Surridge. The third selection was a bit of a surprise. Left back Andy Najar, signed by NSC from his native Honduran club CD Olimpia over the summer, ranks 16th out of 27 players on the team’s roster in terms of salary. In fact, he sits about $400,000 below the league’s average salary of $649,120. And yet, the 32-year-old earned an all-star selection just the same. Najar might be in for a massive payday soon.
