SEATTLE — Garth Lagerwey may not have been the main attraction at the Season Ticket Member Celebration on Sunday, but he used his stage alongside the long player autograph lines to give us some new tidbits about the Paolo Hurtado situation, the academy’s development, and his thoughts regarding the slow starts the Seattle Sounders have endured the past few seasons.
Lagerwey has been previously quoted stating that 95 percent of transfers fail, and it can be frustrating for frequent failure to be a key part of one’s job. Garth reframed it in a positive light, however, as he explained that the club is working toward the types of players and deals that have never — or very rarely — been seen in MLS.
