The Timbers traded Mike Fucito for a second round pick #34 overall. Then draft Timbers U23 and UW CB Dylan Tucker-Gangnes http://www.portlandtimbers.com/news/2013/01/timbers-select-dylan-tucker-gangnes-2013-mls-superdraft Apparently Kris Boyd has been bought out freeing up some cap space: http://www.stumptownfooty.com/2013/1/17/3887016/rumor-portland-timbers-buy-out-kris-boyds-contract Also the Timbers will soon announce the signing of a seasoned right back: http://www.stumptownfooty.com/2013/1/17/3887706/source-portland-timbers-to-sign-seasoned-right-back I'm not surprised about Fucito, he was always gonna be dumped for next to nothing. That Dylan Tucker-Gangnes looks like a nice CB prospect. There is a good youtube highlight vid where he shows a knack for heading the ball and some good athletisism. He might have a chance to stick around a while. Getting Boyd off of the roster frees up a good chunk of cap space which is nice. I was hoping the Timbers would get something for him but I didn't expect them to. A seasoned right back sounds rad. Cherundolo is pretty well seasoned He'd be great for a season or two. Oh and the Timbers are apparently in the running to sign EPL player Nigel Reo-Coker recently of Bolton Wanderers. Apparently his wife is American and if he moves to the US for a while he could get a national team call up. Klinsman is encouraging him to come to MLS mainly so he can gain eligibility to play for the Nats. He just needs to spend some time in the US first to become eligible. Anyway here is the article, sorry if I ruined it for you http://www.prostamerika.com/2013/01/17/timbers-lining-up-klinsmanns-favourite/76455
No it's another American playing overseas Ryan Miller: "Ryan Miller, who recently played in Sweden for Halmstads BK and Ljungskile SK, is set to be signed by the Timbers, according to a source with knowledge of the deal. Ives Galarcep first broke the news earlier on Friday via Twitter." http://www.mlssoccer.com/news/article/2013/01/18/source-right-back-miller-set-leave-sweden-portland More info about Miller: http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/en/miller/profil/spieler_59496.html
