That’s significant because it usually signals a team’s intent to be active once the secondary window opens. And that’s certainly the message we should be gleaning from, for instance, D.C. United waiving Young Designated Player Rafael or Houston parting with onetime prize midfield acquisition Luiz Camargo or Toronto FC cutting bait on Terry Dunfield.
But don’t overlook the seemingly innocuous shedding of end-of-the-squad names like Rafinha, Logan Emory, Adam Clement or Ashani Fairclough either. Or even sudden trades like the one that saw Pablo Mastroeni move to LA. There’s a method to the madness.4. See ya Sam, welcome Mr. Mista. The Reds are pros at this game, adding significant parts at midseason almost every single year. But there’s one in particular that TFC fans would love to have back. With DP Julian de Guzman holding down the defensive midfield spot, Preki and Mo Johnston shipped off Sam Cronin to San Jose for allocation money in late June of 2010. Two weeks later, they signed journeyman Spanish striker Miguel Ángel Ferrer Martínez, a.k.a. Mista (at right), who was supposed to be Toronto’s answer up top. It didn’t happen, as the Spaniard scored only one goal (in a CONCACAF Champions League game) and TFC won just twice in their final 10 games to miss the playoffs again.
Cronin, meanwhile, has been arguably San Jose’s most consistent player not named Wondo. TFC have still never found a long-term solution at holding mid.
Not to be a 'state-ist" but. . . . How many footballers are born in Idaho?
Hope Emory finds a home. Good luck kid.
Did Danny K, feature in the 5-0 destruction of LIMPact's reserves?

Cronin for Mista has to be one of Preki and Mo's most bone-headed moves.
MLS is a tough, physical league, that emphasizes speed, and features plastic fields, grueling travel, extreme weather, and incompetent refs. - NK Toronto
I knew they grow potatoes in Idaho - who knew they also grew footballers?
The Cronin move was highly political. It had less to do with cap and more to do with an issue where Preki didn't rate him at all. Thats what happens with the revolving coaching door and poor leadership at the top. I also believe this is what happened to Emory, it was another coaches guy.

Logan Emory Waived By Toronto
Can't say we are disappointed with this move.
During one of the broadcasts - All For One: The TFC Story - Emory was one of the featured players and in our opinion did a terrible job as a representative of our team and our city!
I'm confused - why isn't anyone talking about the Roma friendly ?
a ha ha heh he hoo.. ha
