I guess he started using again.

quote:

At the time of his signing with Portland, league sources said the Timbers had fully vetted Fernandez and had built protections into the transfer in regards to his past transgressions. Those protections may come into play in any potential lawsuit with Necaxa.

It was a fun handful of games watching him ball out.
And now Portland have two DP spots to fill this offseason.

Yes, but it's entirely possible that the Timbers wanted him back after an extended stint getting whatever help he needs and the league, since they have the power to unilaterally rip up contracts, said no.

Maybe. His contract was contingent on him staying clean. If he is found to be in violation and forced out by the league, maybe that provides more ammunition if Nexaca decides they dont want to give back some of the transfer fee.

I guess the main question is: was the Timbers front office just not aware he had substance abuse issues when they brought him in? Because one would think that would throw up a pretty big DON'T DO IT red flag when going to hand out a roster spot with the scarcity of a DP.

It is possible, but I don't think it's probable. I think the more likely scenario is the Timbers want cover for loving up another buy and they're getting it.

The league/team is going after Nexaca for obfuscating addiction info.

Aurelien Collin

Marco Fabian
Olivier Mbaizo
Haris Medunjanin

I think Fabian and Medunjanin are the only players worth anything for Philly. I don't think anybody will pick up Fabian's contract, but Medunjanin might get taken and that would be bad for Philly. He is too valuable for Philly to let go for nothing, maybe they work out a deal or something to not pick him. Creavalle is a solid bench player, but he's a JAG

I was pretty sure based on conversations I was in at the end of the season that this was going the other way.

I also forgot we've signed a new CB.

Bryan Meredith (GK) - Seattle

god drat it. it was gonna be either him or Barath.

some journalists were saying SKC were working on a trade with Nashville, though, so I'm curious if it's to get Medranda back or get Vazquez.

Valentin sent to Houston for Joe Willis (GK). Vazquez to Cincy for Garberbucks.

Even more Nashville trades:
Adrian Zendejas (GK) from SKC for :20bux: and an international spot.
Daniel Lovitz (D) from Montreal for :10bux: and another international spot.

Hey y'all. Pretty excited about the upcoming season now, though some of our picks were questionable. The room kinda deflated when Ingram immediately announced we were trading Vazquez away. Trading the international spots is suspect too, though we do still have two DP spots available. I feel like I'm never gonna fully understand MLS finance, so I have no idea if the trades we made are any good.

I'm guessing SKC and Nashville worked out the deal for Medranda earlier, which is why they overpaid for Zendejas.
I don't completely understand the throwing away of international slots either, but Medranda will do you well. (If he stays healthy.)
Zendejas is an alright back-up, and Willis ain't half bad either.
