With moves and signings at a bit of a standstill over the Holidays, Portland Timbers fans have waited anxiously with news of roster additions with two open Designated Player slots to fill.
Rumors spread and mysterious tweets from the Timbers Twitter account and club owner Merritt Paulson helped keep those fans at the edge of their seat through the new year, but it wasn’t until the calendar turned the page that genuine developments unfolded.
On the second day of 2020, the Portland Timbers officially announced the signing of 28-year-old Colombian midfielder Yimmi Chara as a Designated Player.
