Sebastian Giovinco Wins MLS MVP: Seba Does The Treble!
Seba wins! Surprising no one it was announced this morning that Toronto FC DP Sebatian Giovinco was the MLS MVP for 2015: Other than potentially going to Kei Kamara there was no one else even close in this race.

Ch-Ch-Changes! Toronto FC Release Konopka, Bendik, Jackson and Apparicio
And so it begins. After yesterday’s re-signing of Justin Morrow, Toronto FC wasted little time in releasing four players and exercising contract options to thirteen others.

It’s Bezness time: Creavalle out, Herculez Gomez in!
Have you been looking on with envy at all the other MLS clubs recently as they’ve added exciting new players? Been trying to make yourself feel better by forcing yourself to think ‘we did our big business at the start of the season, we’ve had an entire half season of our guys already! and hey we got Kantari already, that counts right?’?
