  1. ^ Ibarra holds a U.S. Green Card, so he counts as a domestic player for MLS purposes.[3]

Roster slots edit

Toronto had 8+3 international roster slots and three Designated Player slots available for use in the 2022 season. Beginning in 2022, MLS added three non-tradeable international roster spots to the Canadian franchises to compensate for the more complicated residency requirements compared to in the United States; players occupying these additional roster spots were required to have played and been registered with a Canadian MLS club for at least one full year.[4] In 2022, they traded a 2023 international roster spot along with a 2023 MLS SuperDraft first round pick, Ralph Priso, and an undisclosed amount of General Allocation Money in exchange for Mark-Anthony Kaye.[5] In 2023, they traded a 2023 international roster spot, along with Jesús Jiménez in exchange for Brandon Servania.[6] Toronto acquired a 2023 International roster slot in July from the New England Revolution along with Latif Blessing, in exchange for Mark-Anthony Kaye.[7] Toronto acquired a 2023 International roster slot from the San Jose Earthquakes in exchange for loaning Ayo Akinola.[8]

  1. ^ Jonathan Osorio's salary was at the maximum Targeted Allocation Money amount and was eligible to be bought down below a DP level. However, for the team's salary cap purposes, he utilized a Designated Player slot.
