Pre-MLS is Back look at the state of Sounders’ roster

By the time the Seattle Sounders kick off in the MLS is Back Tournament on July 10, it will have been just a little over four months since they last played a match. Considering that’s a few weeks longer than the actual offseason, it’s understandable that you might need a bit of a refresher on the current state of the roster.

Let’s get all caught up...

Who left after MLS Cup?

There were some significant changes, especially on defense, where three of the four starters in MLS Cup left the team.

Victor Rodriguez (Elche), Roman Torres (Inter Miami), Kim Kee-Hee (Ulsan Hyundai) and Brad Smith (Cardiff City) were the most significant contributors to depart, while Saad Abdul-Salaam (FC Cincinnati), Bryan Meredith (Vancouver Whitecaps), Emanuel Cecchini (Union de Santa Fe), Jonathan Campbell (retired) and Luis Silva (unattached) also left the team during the offseason.
