TORONTO (AP) — Toronto FC has traded captain Dwayne De Rosario to the New York Red Bulls for midfielder Tony Tchani, defender Danleigh Borman and a first-round draft pick in 2012.
The 32-year-old De Rosario scored 15 of Toronto’s 33 goals last season, though he’s been upset with his contract status for the past couple seasons. He made $443,750 last year while designated player Julian de Guzman made $1.7 million.
De Rosario also played for the San Jose Earthquakes, winning championships in 2001 and ’03, and the Houston Dynamo, winning titls in 2006 and ’07. He also has played 56 games for Canada, scoring 15 international goals.
Toronto FC coach Aron Winter called the move “part of our rebuild process.”
