Toronto FC couldn’t even get their parade out of the way before reality set back in.
Twenty-four hours after they lifted the MLS Cup and completed their perfect season, the likes of Raheem Edwards, Nicolas Hasler and Tosaint Ricketts were exposed to this year’s Expansion Draft, which will be held on Tuesday.
So were Drew Moor, Steven Beitashour and Jason Hernandez, who probably do not have to worry about being selected but now have free agency to deal with.
And in the small window in which MLS clubs were permitted to make roster moves on Sunday morning, players such as Walker Zimmerman, Kei Kamara and even the retired Kenwyne Jones were traded - inevitably with knock-on effects elsewhere.
