Toronto FC have traded disgruntled midfielder Jose Cancela to the Colorado Rapids in exchange for a Youth International spot on the roster. Moving Cancela frees up salary cap space, and a Senior International Spot on the roster. It looks to allow for another move. As I speculated here last week, Cancela was most probably a player Toronto offered in the discussions with Colorado as part of a deal for Clint Mathis. Toronto FC were confirmed by Fernando Clavijo to be the other team in the hunt for Mathis last week. Cancela should count as a domestic player for Colorado due to his Green Card status.
A couple of questions about the timing of this move come to mind: (1) Was Cancela the unnamed player Ronnie O'Brien kicked on Tuesday?
(2) Was the Cancela trade completed prior to the news about the extent of the Ronnie O'Brien injury?

It's my understanding that TFC wasn't in the running for Mathis per se - after all, Mo could have taken him in the expansion draft. Mo was trying to work a three way deal involving TFC, Mathis and RBNY
