Toronto FC announced Thursday that they have acquired forward Carlos Ruiz from the L.A. Galaxy in exchange for a first-and a second-round draft pick in 2009.
Ruiz, 28, leaves L.A. as the second leading scorer in Galaxy history with 50 regular-season goals and helped the team to victory in the 2002 MLS Cup. The forward is the all-time leader in postseason goals in MLS, and is currently eighth on the all-time goals list with 82.
Ruiz returned to the Galaxy last season after spending three years with FC Dallas. The forward injured his knee in the season opener in 2008 keeping him out of the lineup for the better part of a month. His first goal of the season came July 19 in a 2-2 draw against the New York Red Bulls.
