Jordan Morris’ departure does not trigger rebuild, Sounders GM insists

Over the past two seasons, Jordan Morris has scored 24 goals and dished out 17 assists in MLS competition. Those are not numbers that will be easily replaced, and realistically won’t be equaled by any new acquisition.

Even if Morris returns when his loan to Swansea City ends in the summer — hardly a given and judging by his own words, probably unlikely — the Sounders will have a significant hole to fill for the first half of the season.

But just a few months removed from a second consecutive trip to MLS Cup and still boasting two of the league’s best players in Nicolas Lodeiro and Raúl Ruidíaz, Sounders GM and President of Soccer Garth Lagerwey remains bullish on his team’s prospects.
