The first time Sebastien Le Toux‘s representative reached out this winter, D.C. United was not interested.
“It didn’t make any sense,” General Manager Dave Kasper said.
The much-traveled free agent brandished quality career numbers but also a considerable contract range. Not to mention, United was well-stocked in the attacking corps.
After the holidays, Le Toux ‘s agent, former teammate Stefani Miglioranzi, tried again, telling Kasper that the French forward really wanted to play in Washington — in part because of the proximity to his wife in Philadelphia.
United reconsidered. Negotiations commenced.
