According to SBI, our very own Hunter Freeman has been traded to Toronto FC in exchange for two supplemental draft picks and future considerations. Freeman has fallen out of favor with head coach Juan Carlos Osorio after signing a pre-contract with Norwegian side IK Start. Freeman’s MLS contract expires December 31st, and should provide Toronto FC with some needed depth for the rest of the season. What do you make of the Freeman trade? Good for TFC? Good for New York? Will this give Juan Carlos Osorio the needed salary cap and roster space to go out and get the forward New York needs?

According to several reports out of Norway, IK Start are close to capturing New York Red Bulls defender Hunter Freeman. According to reports, Freeman would join the Norwegian side in January, after his 4 year contract with NYRB is up. Freeman has been capped at the U-23 level, and has made 11 appearances so far this season. IK Start are currently in 2nd place in Norway’s 2nd Division after being relegated last season. The 23 year old joined New York from Colorado in 2006, and has since been one of New York most consistent performers. What do you think? Would this be a good move for New York? Hunter?
