Everyone knows that Toronto FC cut Herculez Gomez unceremoniously late in preseason. Then Herc wanted to go to only one team, it happened to be the team that wanted him, Seattle Sounders FC. That is not the only connection between Seattle and Toronto, though, and some of them are downright odd.
Let’s hit the other TFC-SSFC connections you probably know. Stefan Frei played 99 competitive matches for TFC, and four for their USL Reserve team back in 2013. Even though Frei played for Toronto from ‘09 to ‘13, he already has many more matches with Seattle (113), due to being in good health and the actually making the playoffs thing.
