After qualifying for its first-ever MLS Playoffs, Toronto FC is doing some minor shuffling with its roster.

The team announced Tuesday that it has picked up its club options on 13 players — including Jonathan Osorio and Marky Delgado — and declined options on four others.

Joining Osorio and Delgado in returning to TFC next season are goalkeeper Quillan Roberts; defenders Mark Bloom, Nick Hagglund, Ashtone Morgan, Josh Williams, Eriq Zavaleta and Clement Simonin; midfielders Collen Warner, Daniel Lovitz, Chris Mannella and forward Jordan Hamilton.

“Stability at this time is of the utmost importance,” said Toronto FC general manager Tim Bezbatchenko. “This represents the highest number of returning players as we look to build on the positives from this past season. We have a strong core group of players that have gained valuable experience over the course of the season. We will use the offseason to add to our group and continue towards our goal of becoming consistent contenders.”

The four players who saw club options declined are goalkeepers Joe Bendik and Chris Konopka, and midfielders Manny Aparicio and Jackson. Robbie Findley is the lone player whose contract will expire at the end of the season. Bendik, Konopka, Jackson and Findley, though, are all eligible for the MLS Re-Entry Draft, and the club has until Dec. 10 to re-sign these players.

TFC had 11 players already under guaranteed contract for the next season in goalkeeper Alex Bono; defenders Justin Morrow, Damien Perquis, Ahmed Kantari; midfielders Michael Bradley, Benoit Cheyrou, Jay Chapman; forwards Sebastian Giovinco, Jozy Altidore, Luke Moore and Herculez Gomez.

OUSTED AND KOFFIE AMONG PLAYERS RETURNING TO VANCOUVER

Vancouver Whitecaps had their best season in MLS this past year and they are looking to build off that success with a core group of players returning for 2016.

The club announced Tuesday that it has exercised its options on 10 players and declined them on six others.

Returning to the Whitecaps are goalkeepers Marco Carducci and David Ousted; defenders Sam Adekugbe, Jordan Smith, Tim Parker; midfielders Gershon Koffie, Nicolás Mezquida; forwards Erik Hurtado, Kekuta Manneh and Darren Mattocks.

Players who had their options declined include goalkeeper Paolo Tornaghi; defenders Steven Beitashour, Pa-Modou Kah, Ethen Sampson; midfielder Andre Lewis and forward Caleb Clarke.

Tornaghi, Beitashou and Kah will be eligible for the MLS Re-Entry Draft, along with Mauro Rosales and Robert Earnshaw, whose contracts are expiring. Vancouver has until Dec. 9 to re-sign these players.

The Whitecaps are also exploring extended loan opportunities for Deybi Flores and Cristian Techera, while Diego Rodríguez has returned to his Uruguayan club Atlético Juventud de Las Piedras.

“We made a number of positive steps forward the last couple seasons and have a solid core in place,” Whitecaps head coach Carl Robinson said. “However, we are constantly looking for ways to take this club to the next level and this offseason will be no exception. I’m confident that we will continue to build, improve, and bring even more success to Vancouver in 2016.”
