With Noah sidelined as he recovers from his big adventure to Marbella, we bring in official Lobbing Scorchers Data Guru/Math and Numbers Expert Spencer Hodapp for some preseason thought exercises related to some of his latest work for Sounder at Heart. We discuss his findings on several topics, including the Sounders' propensity for getting Liga MX coaches fired, the best contract values for Seattle and throughout MLS, and a few names who could be Seattle's best intra-league acquisitions. Later on, we discuss our 2026 expectations for several Seattle players who could prove integral to the squad's fortunes this season.
