The moves were previously announced , but Colorado have formally bid farewell to midfielder Jack Price and forward Diego Rubio as their new era begins under head coach Chris Armas . Price was their captain and Rubio has 53 career MLS goals . Veteran goalkeeper William Yarbrough , who ' s played in 101 regular-season games for the club , saw his contract option declined . But Colorado remain in talks with him , as well as homegrowns Oliver Larraz and Sebastian Anderson after that duo ' s featured extensively in MLS NEXT Pro .
With 24 players under contract for next season , expect the Rapids to be busy after finishing last ( 14th ) in the Western Conference in 2023

Another winter of change beckons for Toronto FC , who are entering their first full season under head coach John Herdman and general manager Jason Hernandez .
The biggest updates involve two veterans – midfielder Víctor Vázquez and striker CJ Sapong – who had their contract option declined . Amid other moves , including club legend Michael Bradley ' s retirement , the Reds have just 21 players with guaranteed contracts for 2024 . And , at first glance , defense and central midfield are areas of need for a big-spending club that last made the playoffs in 2020 .
For now , there ' s no movement on DP forwards Lorenzo Insigne and Federico Bernardeschi . Transfer speculation surrounds the Italians , who arrived midsummer in 2022 and haven ' t yet met expectations as the cornerstones of president Bill Manning ' s vision for TFC .
Toronto earned an MLS-low 22 points in 2023 , good for the Wooden Spoon ( last place ).
