Although the Seattle Sounders aren’t scheduled to participate in the MLS SuperDraft until the 20th pick, GM Garth Lagerwey made a splash early in the livestream by making several notable announcements.
Lagerwey first confirmed that the Sounders have signed UW attacker Dylan Teves to a Homegrown Player contract. Teves had 12 goals and six assists this season while helping lead UW to the national championship game. He had previously played for the Sounders Academy and S2, turning down a USL deal to go to college.
Lagerwey also said backup goalkeeper Stefan Cleveland has re-signed and said that negotiations with out-of-contract players Alex Roldan and Will Bruin are progressing well.
