TORONTO — Heading into the MLS regular season, Toronto FC is akin to a restaurant undergoing a makeover with time running out before the reveal.
There's a lot going on behind the scenes and no guarantee it will be ready in time.
Last year's league-worst team at 4-20-10, TFC has been slow to bring in new talent due in part to the fickle nature of football's transfer window and difficulties in trimming the existing roster due to salary cap issues.
The pace picked up Friday with news that Toronto had reacquired Canadian international fullback Richie Laryea via transfer from England's Nottingham Forest.
