It was a relatively busy MLS SuperDraft day for the Seattle Sounders, even if they only ended up picking two players relatively late.
After announcing that they had signed Dylan Teves to a Homegrown Player contract, the Sounders then proceeded to trade their first-round pick to the New York Red Bulls in exchange for the 43rd overall pick and $75,000 in General Allocation Money. It was also learned that the Sounders had acquired $50,000 in GAM from D.C. United in a trade for Tony Alfaro’s MLS rights, rather than the originally reported second-round pick in this year’s draft.
