It’s not the California sunshine that drew Toronto FC to pre-season camp in Los Angeles, according to former Reds defender Steven Beitashour; it’s him they want to be closer to. “Are you kidding me?” Beitashour recalled joking to Greg Vanney when the TFC coach told him their reunion would come sooner than later. Joking aside, Beitashour will be happy to see his TFC teammates and staff. Beitashour knew a deal to bring back fellow defender Drew Moor was in the works and he didn’t want to take any focus away from the playoff run. “They said they really loved me, they wanted me there and I thought it was going to be a pretty simple process,” Beitashour said.
