Toronto FC announced today that they have indeed traded Midfielder Ronnie O'Brien to San Jose for a 2009 1st round pick and allocation money.
"You're always reluctant to give up a player of Ronnie O'Brien's caliber, but for us to acquire a first-round pick as well as free up cap space that will enable us to address our club's biggest quality need - more quality depth - which makes this a good trade for Toronto FC," TFC manager Mo Johnston said.
