What?! No Goats???

The Portland Timbers did not select any players from the roster of recently-deceased Chivas USA in Wednesday's Major League Soccer dispersal draft.

Only seven Goats were selected, topped off by goalkeeper Dan Kennedy, who was chosen with the first pick by FC Dallas.

One ex-Goat who wasn't available was Erick Torres.  MLS was negotiating a long-term contract to keep the striker nicknamed Cubo in the league. 

Players who weren't selected on Wednesday will take part in the Re-Entry Draft, if eligible, or will be made available via the Waiver Draft, set to take place on December 10, the same day as the Expansion Draft for the New York City Football Club and the Orlando City Soccer Club.
