Jeff Parke leaves the Sounders FC

My boy Jose at the Times had the breaking story on his blog. Here's a snippet:

Parke's status is this, in an email from the team: "The player informed team management of his decision Wednesday night. Parke's MLS rights remain with Sounders FC."

Interesting.

The defender only joined the team about a week ago, and it's pretty clear the two sides haven't seen eye to eye from the start.

We'll see how things shake out.
