Bad news for Portland Timbers fans today. Jeff Carlisle of ESPN reports that sources indicate that Portland will not sign a new center back just yet.
Originally told not to expect anything before May, it looks like the Timbers faithful will have to wait a few more months.
While frustrating in and of itself, the poor defensive showing this weekend will make the news all the more disheartening.
Without defensive reinforcements arriving, Portland will hope for an immediate return of Darlington Nagbe and Diego Valeri, both of whom were listed as questionable in the week leading up to their game with the Earthquakes.
