Sam Stejskal brings a unique viewpoint to his beat at The Athletic - a perspective that's informed not only by his national perspective on Major League Soccer but also his time in an MLS front office, living in multiple league markets, and climbing to a place as one of the foremost breakers of news on the league's landscape. Today, we talked to Stejskal about not only where the league sits at the end of a strange 2020 season but about a first for a Timbers icon: the selection of Diego Chara to the league's Best XI for the first time in the midfielder's decade in Portland.
