Done at Last: Timbers Sign Sebastian Blanco

They say good things come to those who wait.

And through a roller-coaster transfer saga, Portland Timbers fans have been eagerly awaiting final word on Sebastian Blanco for more than three weeks.

On Wednesday they got it as ESPN’s Jeff Carlisle reported Sebastian Blanco is, at long last, a Timber.

Blanco, 28, comes to the Timbers from San Lorenzo de Almagro for a reported transfer fee near $4 million, and an annual salary of approximately $1.3 million. At San Lorenzo, Blanco scored 12 goals in all competitions over two years and added a consistent playmaking presence from a variety of positions in midfield.
