The Portland Timbers have traded a 2018 international roster spot to D.C. United in exchange for $100,000 General Allocation Money and a 2019 international spot.

The Timbers now have eight international roster spots and are using seven of their eight international slots on current players.

Portland will open its 2018 MLS campaign Sunday when it travels to face the LA Galaxy.
