SEATTLE — With most of their projected starters still not with the team, the Seattle Sounders took the opportunity to play their first scrimmage of the preseason and get an extended look at some of the younger players on the roster.
The 45-minute exercise featured one team that could charitably be called a B-team of first-team players, while the other featured mostly Defiance and Sounders Academy players.
The Sounders-heavy team lined up in a 4-2-3-1 that looked about like this: Stefan Frei; Brad Smith, AB Cissoko, Jackson Ragen, Cody Baker; Obed Vargas, Kelyn Rowe; Leó Chu, Albert Rusnak, Dylan Teves; Will Bruin.
