The Foundry group sent a letter to MLS this week asking for all bids from St. Louis to be considered. Cordes said his group would be willing to join in any other bid, but that so far those discussions had not taken place. Woodcock said that was because Foundry had asked the group to sign a non-disclosure agreement but had never provided one. “I welcomed that opportunity because details would be essential for us to guide Mr. Cordes’ group, or any group, in next steps with the league office,” Woodcock said in a statement late Friday afternoon. “We never received that NDA, however. I have not been contacted since. It is my understanding that Mr. Cordes and his group have since gone straight to the league office.”
