There was a lot going on for the Portland Timbers yesterday. First, you had the announcement that Marvin Loria was called up to the by the Costa Rican U-23s. Then the Timbers had their first two games of the season announced: a road match against the Vancouver Whitecaps and their home opener against the Houston Dynamo. And finally, the club announced that they were parting ways with Tomas Conechny. It was a spattering of news coming seemingly all at once.
But the most interesting news in terms of how it affects the roster might have been the Conechny announcement.
