There have been a lot of changes since the Seattle Sounders captured their second MLS Cup last season with a 3-1 win over Toronto FC. A number of key departures, including the likes of Victor Rodriguez, Roman Torres, Brad Smith and Kim Kee-Hee, a few crucial acquisitions, and an evolving roster that now sets up for another run at the big time.
This all leads to the question of what the Sounders need to do in 2020 to once again contend. Will they extend their league record of 11 consecutive postseason appearances? Can they build one of the elite teams in MLS once again?
