The only move the Seattle Sounders have made this summer technically came outside the transfer window, when they signed Paul Rothrock to a first-team contract. Although the window is closed, Rothrock’s signing is allowed since he moves from within the organization. Rothrock and Cody Baker are so far the only signings the Sounders have made since the start of the season.
Sounders GM Craig Waibel said he explored quite a few potential moves during the transfer window and only decided to add Rothrock after the Colorado Rapids expressed interest in extending Danny Leyva’s loan through the end of the season.
