The New York Red Bulls get their 2017 preseason started with a scrimmage in Tucson against Portland Timbers. Our friend William Conwell from Stumptown Footy took a moment to fill us in where the Timbers are at and where they hope to get to by the time MLS '17 kicks off.
1. RBNY has lost a captain and maybe a sporting director so far this off-season. How are things going in Portland so far? Are the Timbers in a hiring or firing mood at the moment?
Portland took their sweet time in making their initial player announcements after the 2016 season, but the side has been evolving at a steady pace since then and now look like they are only a move or two away from being ready for the season to kick off.
