Toronto FC spend more money on their three designated players than any other team in MLS, and they generally get a good return out of them.
It’s hard to identify a better trio in the entire league, in fact. The Seattle Sounders’ group of Nicolas Lodeiro, Clint Dempsey and Osvaldo Alonso is good, and might get even better if Alonso’s contract is paid down with targeted allocation money to make way for another DP. At the moment, though, few Reds fans would trade Sebastian Giovinco for Lodeiro, Jozy Altidore for Dempsey or Michael Bradley for Alonso and an MLS Cup has eluded them only due to the luck and bounces of one particular night.
