BEAVERTON, Ore. – Jeremy Ebobisse can read the writing on the wall as well as the rest of us, and for almost a month, he’s had time to come to grips with it. Now, the Portland Timbers forward has to live out his new reality on the field.
It’s the reality that set in over successive January days when Ebobisse’s team announced the signings of Jarek Niezgoda and Felipe Mora. The former had been rumored for over a month, with the full acquisition of the 24-year-old Pole delayed as he underwent a minor heart procedure.
