TUKWILA, Wash. — Just about every other MLS team is well into offseason mode, having long since bowed out of the MLS Cup playoffs, if they made them at all. The Seattle Sounders had the first-world problem of a late start to their postseason, what with competing — and winning — MLS Cup. But with all of the fanfare and parades finally out of the way, the Sounders are now focused on the 2020 season.
That said, there was one last bit of 2019 business in the form of the annual postseason press conference. Coach Brian Schmetzer and General Manager Garth Lagerwey checked that off the to-do list Wednesday afternoon at Starfire, where they looked back on the 2019 season and ahead to 2020.
