Toronto FC GM Hernandez Overhauls Salary Cap to Build Future Success

General Manager Jason Hernandez navigates financial challenges to position Toronto FC for strategic roster improvements.

Jason Hernandez has been working to clear salary cap obstacles since becoming GM at the end of last summer.
The sale of winger Jahkeele Marshall-Rutty to CF Montreal for up to $1.3 million in general allocation money has set the stage for future moves.
Hernandez is paying off contracts of former players and restructuring current contracts to free up cap space.
Toronto FC promoted Charlie Sharp and Nate Edwards from TFC 2 to the first team, avoiding short-term free-agent signings.
The club is considering reducing its designated players to two, allowing for four younger players under the U22 Initiative.
