Feb 18 - Weekend news:
Feb 17 - Sounders roster moves have been fairly routine until today. Ex-national forward Eddie Johnson is now a Sounder. Montreal took the MLS returnee with their top spot on the allocation order, then traded him to Seattle for forward Mike Fucito and winger Lamar Neagle, who were both fan favorites and will be missed. That's sports business, so we wish Fucito and Neagle the best in their careers (except of course when they face the Sounders), and we welcome Johnson and look forward to success with him on the pitch. Strange fact: Portland Timbers also have a 27-year-old forward named Eddie Johnson. Coverage:
