I’m sure we’ll see him sold for a pile of GAM that we then do not reinvest at all

Winger Sebastian Gomez, 20, was moved up to the Sounders first team from the Tacoma Defiance of MLS Next Pro. This season he had played just 71 minutes with the Sounders. But he was the MOTM against Queretaro with a goal and an assist. His goal in the 4th minute opened the scoring and set the tone for the Sounders. But he played well with his passing, duel winning, dribbling, and he drew three fouls. It might have opened the door for him to continue to play meaningful minutes the rest of the season.
