With just one trialist in camp, it allows TFC more time to break in draft prospects like Emery Welshman and Kyle Bekker; and also give Supplemental Draft Picks like Ashton Bennett more of a fair shake. And it creates more room for Academy players to display they're ready to make the jump.

Toronto FC president and GM Kevin Payne made the best of a bad situation by dealing Designated Player Eric Hassli to FC Dallas for a conditional second-round pick in the 2014 SuperDraft.

Toronto FC media day, 2013 edition, could be renamed “Wow, Nothing Bad or Controversial Happened Day.”

Just days after drafting two local products, Kyle Bekker and Emery Welshman, in the MLS SuperDraft, TFC confirmed the rumoured addition of former Canadian national-team keeper Pat Onstad to the club’s staff.

“I had a serious interest in the position and, in my talks with Tom Anselmi, I believed that Tom Anselmi has a serious interest in me,” said Wilt. “As it turned out, I may have been mistaken about that.”

Kyle Bekker and Emery Welshman are going home.

With no real consensus No. 1 pick at this year’s MLS SuperDraft, Toronto FC decided to take the money.

Cesar, though, at 34, is just one year younger than his coach, Ryan Nelsen. The team already has Torsten Frings, who is 36. Striker Eric Hassli turns 32 this spring. Danny Koevermans is 34. Midfielder Terry Dunfield is 30. Central defender Danny Califf is 32.

According to Honduran club CDS Vida, midfielder Arnold Peralta has rejected Toronto FC’s contract offer and won’t be heading off to play with the Reds, after all.

Because TSN and RDS, the national rights holders for MLS in Canada, have yet to finalize their television schedules, the majority of home dates for the three Canadian teams don’t have kickoff times.
