17. Gilberto: $1.2 Million (loan to Vasco de Gama)
There really is not much to say about Gilberto for the 2015 MLS regular season. The 26-year-old Brazilian front man was hoped to be a goal-scoring machine upon joining the Canadian outfit, but American forward Jozy Altidore linking up with Toronto made Gilberto surplus to requirements. He has since joined Vasco de Gama on a loan deal, and his future with Toronto and in MLS is in doubt during the summer. There have been rumors since this past winter that Gilberto and TFC will permanently part ways once the current MLS regular season concludes.
16. Pedro Morales: $1.41 Million
The Vancouver Whitecaps have taken fans on emotional rides during seasons over the past couple of years. While the club has disappointed supporters as it pertains to the postseason and MLS Cup, Vancouver no doubt got it right with the signing of Pedro Morales. Morales was honored as the 2014 MLS Newcomer of the Year after he notched 10 goals and a dozen assists, leading his team in both of those categories. While Morales did go through hot and cold streaks during his debut campaign with the Whitecaps, he served his purpose as a MLS designated player.
