It’s been a busy start to the offseason for the Portland Timbers. We’ve already seen two trades — with Marco Farfan being sent to LAFC and Julio Cascante going to Austin FC — and another acquisition made official with the addition of Nicolas Claudio Bravo to the roster. Along with that, general manager and president of soccer, Gavin Wilkinson, noted that the club will not take up the options for Andres Flores or Chris Duvall. It’s a fast start to the offseason to say the least.
But the influx of moves isn’t particularly surprising.
