Have Sounders changed their thinking about a new Designated Player?

Brian Schmetzer identified at least two positions that could be due for potential additions during the summer transfer window, outside midfield and defensive midfield.

“I would always love reinforcements as a coach,” Schmetzer told reporters on Tuesday. “With Victor’s kind of injury that’s kind of sidelined him; an Ozzie replacement, some of things there are areas where we could improve.”

Behind the scenes, there had been signals that if the Seattle Sounders were to expend significant resources on another Designated Player this summer, the position they were most likely to target was a longterm replacement for Osvaldo Alonso.
