With only 14 returning players currently in camp, new Toronto FC head coach Bob Bradley has taken a sledgehammer to a roster that compiled a dismal 6-18-10 record last season.
Brazil’s Auro and fellow defender Kemar Lawrence, a Jamaican international, are the latest out the door although Bradley did not provide final destinations. Auro reportedly is headed to Brazil’s Santos FC on loan.
An announcement on Jozy Altidore’s future is coming “shortly,” according to Bradley, who doubles as TFC’s sporting director. It appears the club is negotiating a buyout, with the New England Revolution reportedly waiting in the wings for the star striker, who spent close to two months on the outs with Toronto last season.
