Monday, December 5th, is the first stage of the MLS Re-Entry Draft. The entire process gets fairly convoluted, as MLS is wont to do. As such, I figured I'll just copy/paste their rules here for you:
Also it's worth noting the Timbers can not re-select their own players in Stage 1, they can, however, renegotiate and resign with the Timbers after Stage 1 is complete.Any player selected in Stage 1 will remain on the drafting club’s 2012 budget at the option price or Bona Fide Offer price until April 1, 2012. Clubs and players may not mutually renegotiate that price to a lower number until April 1, 2012.
In Stage 2, clubs may select from players that are under contract and those not under contract. If a player is not under contract, the drafting club will be required to make a genuine offer to the player within seven days. In the event that an agreement cannot be reached between the drafting club and an out-of-contract player, the drafting club will hold the right of first refusal for that player in MLS.
Alrighty! Here's the list:

We can see a few Timbers on the list. I hope Peter Lowry is selected by somebody. Interestingly enough, Ryan Pore is also listed but under the Montreal Impact. I guess that deal never flew with the Canadian team.
Looking ahead is there any players here you'd like to see adorn the Timbers uniform?
Steve Cronin, former Timbers keeper, is available although I'm not sure it would be right to put him as third keeper.
