The defender is on his way out as Toronto FC make room for the moves that they have already made, and those that they still have to make.
It was the asterisk next to Toronto FC's string of moves in December: in order to make them possible someone, or multiple someones, would have to move out in order to make space. It appears the first such move has been made, with summer acquisition Ahmed Kantari on his way out.
Reports from Kristian Jack of TSN were confirmed by Kurt Larson of the Toronto Sun that the club has waived the defender.
