The Shipp is now at harbor in Seattle. And he’s bringing another member of the fleet with him.
That Shipp, of course, is Harry Shipp, the former Chicago Fire Homegrown Player the Sounders acquired Thursday in a trade with the Montreal Impact. The Sounders parted with general allocation money, and in return they nabbed Shipp, one of the most enigmatic young players in MLS. Shipp’s been productive in each of his three years in the league — he’s already clocked more than 6,000 minutes as a pro — and yet here he is, embarking on an expedition with his third team in his fourth season.
