Due to a variety of factors, it’s looking increasingly likely that the Seattle Sounders will at least open preseason with a roster that looks very much like it does now. Even after gaining some flexibility in their salary cap position thanks to Jordan Morris’ loan and Henry Wingo’s transfer, Sounders President of Soccer and GM Garth Lagerwey told KJR on Monday the team is in a “conservative posture” and will likely try to hire Chris Henderson’s replacement before making any major signings.
“We’re in a mode where we’re trying to save some resources — knowing that the salary cap has been adjusted downward, not just this year but next — we’re probably going to be in a somewhat conservative posture,” Lagerwey said.
