TFC Flashback: Reds trade for Justin Morrow, 'Mr. Reliable'

As part of TFC Republic's special flashback series, we'll examine interesting moments in the history of Toronto FC.

Starting all over again was no big thing for Justin Morrow — he’d done it before. 

A second-round pick (28th overall) in the 2010 Major League Soccer SuperDraft, Morrow made his league debut for the San Jose Earthquakes in May of that year and looked to be set for a successful MLS career.
