Miscellany
Allocation ranking
Portland is in the #8 position in the MLS Allocation Ranking. The allocation ranking is the mechanism used to determine which MLS club has first priority to acquire a U.S. National Team player who signs with MLS after playing abroad, or a former MLS player who returns to the league after having gone to a club abroad for a transfer fee. A ranking can be traded, provided that part of the compensation received in return is another club's ranking.[30]
International roster slots
Portland has 8 MLS International Roster Slots for use in the 2012 season. Each club in Major League Soccer is allocated 8 international roster slots. Clubs may trade their excess international roster slots to other teams and there is no limit to the amount of slots each team can acquire.
Portland acquired one additional slot for use in the 2011 and 2012 seasons from Los Angeles Galaxy, in exchange for allocation money, to bring their total to 9 for their first two seasons in MLS.[31] The Timbers then traded one of their 2012 slots to the Montreal Impact in exchange for not selecting any Timbers players in the 2011 MLS Expansion Draft[32] and a 2015 MLS Supplemental Draft 4th Round pick.[33]
Prior to the 2012 season, Portland acquired an additional slot from D.C. United for use in the 2012 and 2013 seasons in exchange for allocation money,[33] bringing their total back up to 9 at the start of the 2012 season. In July 2012, Portland traded a slot to Colorado Rapids as part of the Kosuke Kimura deal. That slot returns to Portland after the 2012 season.
Future draft pick trades
Future picks acquired:
- 2013 MLS SuperDraft Round 1 pick from New York Red Bulls.[24]
- 2014 MLS SuperDraft Round 4 pick from Houston Dynamo.[34]
- 2014 MLS Supplemental Draft Round 1 pick from D.C. United.
- 2015 MLS Supplemental Draft Round 4 pick from Montreal Impact.[33]
Future picks traded:
- 2013 MLS SuperDraft Round 1 pick to Houston Dynamo.[10]
- 2013 MLS SuperDraft Round 2 pick (conditional) to Montreal Impact. This pick may instead turn into use of an international roster slot for the 2013 season, dependent on the performance of Mike Fucito in 2012.[35]
