I was on @fox13seattle 's Washington Sports Wrap with & I was able to share my thoughts on the Seattle Times decision to cut their soccer coverage. It's a short-sighted and arrogant decision by a publication that has the responsibility to cover all major teams in the city IMO.

We’ve got a lengthy list of players they pursued. Contact is not the issue, it’s the ability to close a deal. From sound of it, real budget came very late in process and they basically ran out of time. Frustrating to say the least.

Per sources: #Sounders looking to extend Albert Rusnák's contract 2.5 years in order to bring him off occupying a designated player slot. With that DP spot, the club is actively in conversations to acquire #SportingKC ST, Dejan Joveljić. 27 year-old has 8 goals in 2026. I'm told deal not done

Jesus Ferreira goes down in the 35th minute and is now subbed off for Sebastian Gómez. #Sounders cannot afford to lose another one of their top players for a significant amount of time but for now Ferreira is out with an injury.

Bad news for #Sounders 🚨 Brian Schmetzer just revealed that Pedro de La Vega could be out for the rest of the year with a "very significant left quad pull. The team is looking for a second and third opinion to figure out if surgery is needed.

I am actually annoyed that all of this is being publicly discussed in this fashion. However, I'll address this adequately at some point but for now I'll agree with you that this sort of situation could not come at a worse time. I'm certain the great #Sounders coverage we all provide will continue.

@elrolonw.bsky.social reporting from training that Yeimar injured something else now and Dotson is also being evaluated makes me think someone should really hire an etsy witch to cast off this cursed cloud above them rn

Niko Moreno @elrolonw.bsky.social · 31/07/2026

More bad news for the #Sounders on the injury front: Yeimar Gómez Andrade could be out 4-6 weeks with a calf injury per Brian Schmetzer and Hassani Dotson picked up a hamstring injury that is still being assessed. Jordan Morris & Cristian Roldan still at least 3-4 weeks out.

Niko Moreno @elrolonw.bsky.social · 28/07/2026

Back at training after suffering their 5th consecutive loss, #Sounders seem to at least have Alex Roldan doing some work with the team. Pedro de La Vega, Yeimar Gómez Andrade and Ryan Sailor are also all out here today. Unfortunately there is no sign of Cristian Roldan.

Niko Moreno @elrolonw.bsky.social · 03/07/2026

Back at #Sounders training, the team is playing an intrasquad game as they continue to prepare for #MLS season to resume. No Pedro de La Vega out here but we'll ask Schmetzer for an update. Additionally, I don't see Alex Roldan so far so we'll ask about him as well.

After 3 days off, #Sounders players are back on the training ground to prepare for a home game against FC Dallas. Biggest early observation so far is Albert Rusnák’s absence. Schmetzer ruled out the possibility of an injury during the post game presser but we'll ask about it after practice.
