TORONTO -- Toronto FC acquired Kyle Davies on Thursday from the Los Angeles Galaxy in exchange for fellow defender Dasan Robinson. cheap jerseys from china . The move came just before Major League Soccers roster freeze, which runs through the rest of the regular season and the MLS Cup playoffs. "We are acquiring a young central defender with leadership experience and I feel Kyle will fit into our plans both now and long-term," Toronto FC head coach Aron Winter said in a release. The 22-year-old Davies joined the Galaxy in May but did not make an appearance with the club. He began his career at Southampton in England in 2007 with the youth and reserve team. The Danville, Calif., native then signed a contract with the MLS, joining Real Salt Lake in 2009. He was later traded to FC Dallas in April of that year but was waived by the club prior to joining the Galaxy. Davies captained the U.S. team at both the 2009 CONCACAF under-20 Championship and the 2009 FIFA under-20 World Cup. Toronto acquired Robinson, 27, on July 28 from the Chicago Fire but he made just one appearance for the club, Aug. 18 in Panama against Tauro FC during a CONCACAF Champions League group match. wholesale nfl jerseys .

Just not as quickly as hed like. Taking questions at the downtown Rotary Club of San Jose, Wolff said the uncertainty about the possible move is harming the franchise more than anything. Hes hopeful that a resolution from baseball is coming soon -- a word that has been reiterated by many for years. "Im not going to continue this much longer," Wolff said. "What we want is an answer. We want a yes, you can relocate and share the district, share the territory. Or you cant. But not having any answer is very difficult. Not just for me, but for the people that work for us, for planning our baseball team every year." The As need approval from league owners to move to the south bay, where the San Francisco Giants hold territorial rights to the technology-rich region filled with fans and corporate dollars. Not to mention the Giants class-A affiliate is in San Jose. Commissioner Bud Selig appointed a committee in March 2009 to evaluate the issue facing the Bay Area teams. MLB spokesman Pat Courtney said Wednesday there was nothing new from the commissioners office on the situation since Seligs remarks at the owners meetings last month that the issue was on the "front burner." Wolff again refused to give a time frame on a possible decision -- perhaps because even hes not sure when one could come down -- and hinted that he could force a vote by league owners in a few months if a ruling remains in limbo. He later clarified to reporters that he plans to wait for the committees recommendations. "Were following the process. Its excruciating," Wolff said. "We talk constantly on many matters. I think were getting there. We have ways where we can be a belligerent owner. Its not in me at this point." Among the other notable items: -- Wolff said buying out the Giants territorial rights to San Jose "has not been discussed with us." -- He confirmed the team would be renamed the San Jose As if it relocated. There was even aa stuffed version of Stomper, the As mascot, dressed in a "San Jose Athletics" uniform that greeted guest at the luncheon. cheap nfl jerseys . -- Wolff said hed be fine if the Giants wanted to keep their class-A team in San Jose. -- The As are not exploring a move to any other city and selling the team is not an option now. -- Wolff said the team took in about US$32 million in revenue sharing from other teams last season. He said the franchise spent all of the money, about half on player payroll. He expects payroll to be about $65 million to $70 million next season. Without a deal to move out of the outdated Oakland Coliseum, the As maintain that they cant compete with other clubs. Oakland shed several of its best players this winter -- including top starters Trevor Cahill, Gio Gonzalez and closer Andrew Bailey -- for talented prospects in the latest payroll purge. "I have one grandchild who still wont talk to me since we traded Gio," Wolff said. Wolff, a successful Los Angeles real estate developer, reiterated the he has exhausted all efforts to keep the team in Oakland. The As also had previously planned to build a state-of-the-art stadium in nearby Fremont that they thought would eventually transform the small-budget club into a big spender. That plan, which would have been in partnership with Cisco Systems Inc., fell through because of a variety of complications -- including public transportation issues. There also are similar environmental and transportation concerns that could derail the San Jose project with a series of lawsuits, including one against the Silicon Valley city from a Giants-supported group called "Stand for San Jose." Wolff believes all those issues will be resolved and that lawsuits are often part of the process. "If you have a cure for cancer in California, somebody is going to be against it," he joked. Wolff declined to go into specifics about what is holding up a decision from the Selig-appointed committee. But he said everything has been researched and discussed by the club and all thats needed now is a decision. "If baseball is hiding some magic formula," Wolff said, "I wish theyd tell me." ' ' '
