Why a quiet offseason is good news for Toronto FC’s MLS Cup bid

It would be hard to blame Toronto FC fans for getting a little restless at times this offseason. Coming off a trip to the MLS Cup final, the club was quiet for most of the winter transfer season. There were few rumours, and even fewer moves.

This has been anything but the norm for the club of late. In 2014, Toronto made global headlines when they acquired Jermain Defoe, Michael Bradley and Gilberto. A year later, they brought in Jozy Altidore and Sebastian Giovinco. Even last year, while the names were not as flashy, TFC made four high-profile MLS moves.
