After allowing a league worst 58 goals last season the club has retooled its backline. On paper, things look promising for once.
Toronto FC spent this summer fixing a leaky backline, but until today the club was missing a last line of defence. The club has acquired goalkeeper Clint Irwin from the Colorado Rapids in exchange for Targeted Allocation Money (TAM), Toronto's highest third round pick in 2016 and a conditional first round pick in 2017. The conditions of the pick were not released.
Until Toronto put an end to it by acquiring the 26-year-old, there was at least some concern that the club would start the 2016 MLS season with a pair of 21-year-olds in net.
