While significant holes remain on the roster — most notably on defense, where just one natural centerback is under contract — the Seattle Sounders have at least moved to shore up their depth in the midfield with the re-signing of Harry Shipp, sources have confirmed to Sounder at Heart.
Shipp’s contract option had been declined following the season and he was exposed to the expansion draft, but had notably not been among the players available in the Re-Entry Draft, despite being eligible. That suggested he was at least in active negotiations with the Sounders if not already re-signed.
