TORONTO - As always, the one thing that never changes at Toronto FC is change. Real Madrid Jerseys . But the revolving door seems to be swinging a little slower going into the 2015 season.Rather than radical surgery, head coach Greg Vanney and GM Tim Bezbatchenko have targeted key areas for improvement. And while there is more work to be done on defence, a franchise known for past failures looks like it will be worth watching this season.This year is about executing their vision.One, were trying to do less because I think its about continuity and stability, said Bezbatchenko.But then two, we know how to approach it in a little bit different way. Not to say we didnt do it the right way last year (when the team went 11-15- but I think to build a team, its more than just the talent on the field. Its character, how you go about doing it, setting expectations for the fans.And I think we have players now that the fans can get around.After weekend medicals, pre-season training starts Monday under the bubble at the MLS teams well-appointed training centre.Toronto has said goodbye to former face of the franchise Jermain Defoe while adding big guns in striker Jozy Altidore and attacking midfielder Sebastian Giovinco. The Italian star was originally scheduled to join in July after his season with Juventus, but there has been speculation he may be freed up sooner.U.S. midfielder Michael Bradley, in his second season in Toronto, is firmly at the TFC helm. Consulted by team brass on off-season moves, Bradley helped engineer some of them.It would be a surprise if Bradley does not take over as captain from 34-year-old centre back Steven Caldwell. The fiery Scot is a fine skipper but the franchise seems clearly to be lining up behind the 27-year-old intense American star.Who wears the captains armband is a question that should be answered sooner than later, to avoid distractions. The future of Brazilian striker Gilberto, who appears to be the odd man out in Torontos overcrowded designated player pool when Giovinco arrives, will also dominate discussion. Gilberto has been allowed to remain in Brazil while the team sorts out its roster issues.Camp will open without Altidore and Bradley, who are with the U.S. national team. They are not expected back until Feb. 9. Brazilian midfielder Jackson, meanwhile, has been given permission to arrive late due to his wife expecting.Despite Torontos desire for continuity, there will be upheaval this season with key players leaving for the July 7-26 Gold Cup. The good news is TFC has just four games in July.A lopsided home schedule, with seven straight road games to open the season due to ongoing stadium renovations at BMO Field, also complicates matters. As does the timing of Giovincos arrival.But Toronto believes it is close to sorting out the on-field product.Six players have signed on with Toronto so far since last season, counting Giovinco, with eight moving on. Compare that to the post-2013 season when MLS records show 15 players coming in (five of those have since left) and 17 leaving. After the 2012 campaign, there were 26 in and 26 out as the franchise cleaned house.Toronto set records for wins (11) and points (41) last season when Defoe started his MLS career with a bang, only to fall victim to injury and homesickness.But there was still plenty of room for improvement. In 2014, Toronto ranked 12th out of 19 teams in goals per game (1.29) and 15th in goals against (1.59).The team is slated to return to Toronto on Feb. 9 before returning to the Sunshine state, this time Bradenton, on Feb. 16.The club will take part in the IMG Suncoast Pro Classic in Florida, playing in a group with the New York Red Bulls, Danish First Division team HB Koge and USL Pro side Oklahoma City Energy FC.The players fly north again March 1 in preparation for their season opener March 7 in Vancouver,Vanney has added Robin Fraser, a veteran assistant and former head coach, to his coaching staff.Former assistant Jason Bent has been tasked with overseeing Toronto II, the clubs new USL Pro team. With eight players taken in the recent MLS SuperDraft as well as its academy talent, Toronto is well on its way to stocking the new side designed to bridge the gap between the top academy side and the MLS team.Vanney envisions starting camp in Toronto with all of its draft picks and top academy players taking part in the main group. The goal is laying out the vision of how we will play so that everybody has a clear idea of what our vision of the game looks like for this year, both in attack and in defence.The whole group will travel to Florida for the first phase of warm-weather training. When the team returns to Toronto, some will be split off to work with the fledgling USL Pro side.Both teams will make the second trip to Florida with separate games for each.As much as possible we want to keep the groups close together ... so were all on the same page, Vanney said.The addition of expansion teams Orlando City SC and New York City FC and the exit of Chivas USA have changed the look of the league in 2015.Houston and Sporting Kansas City have moved to the Western Conference to make way for the new teams, leaving both conferences with 10 clubs. Six will make the playoffs in each conference, up from five last season, offering Toronto a better chance of finally qualifying for the post-season.Toronto, which has missed the playoffs in all eight of its previous seasons, enters the 2015 campaign with an all-time league record of 62-120-74.Follow @NeilMDavidson on Twitter Ruben Yanez Jersey .com) - Hassan Whiteside scored 20 points with nine rebounds in the Miami Heats 83-75 win over the Boston Celtics on Sunday.

He won easily in his home state of California, he dazzled in the Kentucky Derby and he dug deep to win the Preakness on Saturday. Now comes the toughest test of all, the Belmont Stakes in three weeks. The chestnut colt with four white feet will attempt to sweep the Kentucky Derby, Preakness and Belmont, something that hasnt been done since Affirmed in 1978. Since then, 12 horses have won the first two legs and failed to complete the sweep in the 1 1/2-mile Belmont; the last was Ill Have Another, who was scratched on the eve of the Belmont two years ago. "You have to have a very good horse to win these three races," said Art Sherman, the winning 77-year-old trainer. "Im hoping Ive got one right now." Maybe the horse with the modest pedigree and average Joe owners is the one. California Chrome defeated Ride On Curlin by 1 1/2 lengths in the Preakness, covering 1 3/16 miles in 1:54.84 on a sunny and cool day at Pimlico. Hes now won six straight races. The streak started with four in a row in California by a combined 24 1/4 lengths. Then California Chrome coasted home in the Derby by 1 3/4 lengths after opening up a big lead in the stretch. The margin dwindled in the Preakness as he fought off multiple challengers. California Chromes co-owner Steve Coburn shed tears after his colt crossed the finish line, dabbing them away with a blue-and-white bandanna. "I dont mean to be bold or cocky or arrogant," Coburn said. "I saw this baby when he was a day old, I told my wife, Carolyn, this horse is going to do something big. I dont know what it is, but were going to stay in the game to make sure this colt gets to be the best that he can be." Quite a statement from a guy with a one-horse stable. Coburn and partner Perry Martin bred an $8,000 mare to a $2,500 stallion to produce California Chrome. Based on the colts humble breeding, he probably shouldnt be on the verge of making history. His mother, named Love the Chase, won just one race. The owners were long shots to get this far, too. Coburn and Martin named their operation DAP Racing, which stands for Dumb Ass Partners. Their silks include an image of a donkey. Coburn and Perry who live on each side of the California-Nevada border get up early for their jobs -- Coburn working as a press operator and Martin running a lab that tests high-reliability equipment. "We just hope that this horse is letting America know that the little guy can win," Coburn said. Sent off as the overwheelming 1-2 favourite by a record crowd of 123,469, California Chrome bounced out of the gate running, with jockey Victor Espinoza moving the colt into the clear. Keylor Navas Jersey. Pablo Del Monte, a 34-1 shot, charged to the lead and was soon joined by filly Ria Antonia. Espinoza tucked California Chrome into third, an ideal spot behind the leaders. They stayed there until making their move approaching the final turn. "I had to move early today," Espinoza said. "I had to start moving at the half-mile pole, which is tough for a horse to start moving early and keep going all the way to the end. California Chrome proved he can move." California Chrome went for the lead, catching Pablo Del Monte while Social Inclusion joined the chase. Pablo Del Monte soon dropped back along the rail, and California Chrome sprinted away from Social Inclusion at the top of the stretch. But there was one more challenge to come. Ride On Curlin, next-to-last in the 10-horse field, ranged up and briefly appeared ready to overtake California Chrome. Once again showing his class, California Chrome denied the threat. "Its an awesome feeling," Espinoza said. "Today it was just a crazy race. I got more tired mentally than physically. I see another horse go to the front. I was going to sit second. ... I sit back, as soon as the other horse got clear of me, it worked out perfect." Social Inclusion was ridden by Luis Contreras, a jockey based at Torontos Woodbine Racetrack. California Chrome paid $3, $3 and $2.40. Ride On Curlin returned $5.60 and $3.80, while Social Inclusion was another 6 1/2 lengths back in third and paid $3.40 as the 5-1 second choice. General a Rod was fourth, followed by Ring Weekend, Pablo Del Monte, Dynamic Impact, Kid Cruz, Bayern and Ria Antonia. Dynamic Impact is trained by Mark Casse, who is also based at Woodbine. Espinoza will get another crack at trying to complete the Triple Crown, after missing with War Emblem in 2002. He finished eighth in the Belmont that year. "You have to be a super horse to win," the jockey said. "Hopefully, California Chrome comes back good, and hes the one that hopefully can do it." Bob Baffert trained War Emblem, one of his three Triple tries that ended in failure. He missed with Silver Charm in 1997 and again the following year with Real Quiet, who lost the Belmont by a nose. "California Chrome is something. Hes a cool customer," Baffert said after the race. "He does everything right. Hes fast enough to stay out of trouble."
