Jimmy Medranda’s time with the Seattle Sounders is officially over after the midfielder signed with the Columbus Crew as a free agent on Friday. Medranda had spent the last three seasons with the Sounders after being acquired in a trade with Nashville SC during the 2020 season.
Although Medranda sometimes struggled to stay fit, he did show flashes of brilliance when he was healthy, especially in 2021. That year, he stayed healthy enough to log nearly 1,300 minutes and responded with four goals and three assists while playing mostly as a left wingback in a 3-4-2-1 formation.
