19. Kevin Doyle: $1.17 Million
Kevin Doyle is one of the several designated players featured in this piece still learning what it means to perform in MLS. Doyle had been signed to Wolverhampton Wanderers up through the spring months when he was granted an early release from that deal so that he could join up with the Colorado Rapids. The Irish striker made headlines in the United States and also across the pond when he netted a beautiful tally that helped propel the Rapids over Seattle Sounders in July. Both Doyle and the Rapids will be hoping that there is even more to come in future days.

18. Federico Higuain: $1.17 Million
Federico Higuain has made history multiple times during his time with the Columbus Crew. Higuain was the first ever Crew player to win the MLS Newcomer of the Year Award, an honor that was bestowed upon him back in 2012. He is also the first ever million-dollar player in the history of the club. The Crew do not play in a massive market, and thus the club is not able to offer certain opportunities received by designated players who ink contracts with sides that perform in cities such as Los Angeles or New York. Higuain has proven his worth to the Crew since joining the side with numerous stellar performances in MLS play.
