2024 Schedule
Armchair Analyst's Breakdown
- Strength: They should be able to ride a “nobody believes in us!” high.
- Weakness: They claimed the Wooden Spoon in 2023 and made zero high-level additions to the roster.
Key Departures
- Michael Bradley: Bradley, one of the greatest American men's soccer players of all time, retired after the 2023 season. TFC's former captain has been coaching at Norwegian club Stabæk alongside his father.
- CJ Sapong: The 35-year-old striker wasn't brought back after joining last season in a trade with Nashville SC.
- Víctor Vázquez: Vázquez is still chugging along (he now competes in India). The Spanish midfielder's second Reds stint was plagued by injury.
Key Signings
- Deybi Flores: Toronto don't have a ton of roster wiggle room as John Herdman takes over as head coach. But they did bring the Honduran international midfielder back to MLS, acquiring him from Hungarian top-flight side Fehérvár FC.
- Tyrese Spicer: TBD what Spicer's position will be in the pro ranks. But as a No. 1 pick in the SuperDraft, the Lipscomb product is expected to be MLS-ready.
