You probably didn't know there was an MLS waiver draft today. I certainly didn't. You know who knew? The Sounders front office. And they picked up a couple of players.

Dawyne Smith is a 6'1" Jamaican forward who was drafted by the New England Revolution in this year's Supplemental Draft, but never made it out of camp and has been playing with the Pittsburgh Riverhounds in USL Pro.

Daniel Steres is a defender from San Diego State who was drafted by Chivas USA in the Supplemental Draft, but he was in preseason camp with the Sounders as a trialist.

The picks mean that Seattle has the MLS rights for the two players, but they'd have to negotiate a contract and find an open roster spot before they could actually be placed on the roster and play for the team.
