The Portland Timbers addressed a clear area of need on their depth chart on Tuesday with the signing of Colombian Winger Santiago Moreno.

Gio Savarese’s side is currently sitting at 8th place in the Western Conference, just one-point behind Real Salt Lake and playoff participation. Heading into the season as favorites to challenge for a spot a top the entire league, acquisitions were made to strengthen a point of weakness for the club last season, the backline.
