They tried to stop Zach Scott once. A declined option, passed over in the dozens of MLS re-allocation methods and it was quite possible that Zach Scott would not play in 2016. His time as a Seattle Sounders player could be over, not by his own choosing. Somehow he was able to train and try to prove his value again. He did.
It’s a story in some ways similar to 2002 or 2009, or whenever. Talent scouts tended to overlook Scott. And yet, for 15 seasons he is a Sounder. Outside of soccer he’s a Sounder too. He adopted our region just as we adopted him.
