An experienced operator, he has been an ever-present this season (95.7% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.4 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Bye.
Judged on this season alone, Bye graded 12 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 47th of 54 of the 54 full-backs in the Major League Soccer, on 1 clean sheet and 2.403 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 16 → 12). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 29, 35th of 54 of the 54 full-backs in the Major League Soccer. At 30 Bye is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.7 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
