The Revolution held the first selection in the\u00a0process when they selected\u00a0Toja,\u00a0who became available after he left Greek club Aris earlier this year.<\/p>\n<p>The 27-year-old Colombian\u00a0played for FC Dallas from 2007-08 before he was tranferred to Steaua Bucuresti (Romania). During his stint in Dallas, he earned an annual salary of $100,000.<\/p>\n<p>The only other addition to the Revolution&#8217;s salary list since Aug. 1 &#8211; the date of the previous\u00a0ledger &#8211; is midfielder Blair Gavin, who&#8217;s figure is listed at $80,000.<\/p>\n<p>Gavin was acquired by the club on Aug. 1 in a trade that sent longtime Revolution midfielder Shalrie Joseph to Chivas USA. The Revolution also received Chivas USA&#8217;s natural second-round SuperDraft selection in 2013, as well as allocation money.<\/p>\n<p>Benny Feilhaber remains the highest-paid Revolution player with a salary\u00a0of $446,000.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to the latest MLS Salary List, Juan Toja is the second-highest salaried player on the Revolution roster.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}}},"categories":[3,1],"tags":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_likes_enabled":false,"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/nesoccertoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15855"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/nesoccertoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/nesoccertoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/nesoccertoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/nesoccertoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=15855"}],"version-history":[{"count":13,"href":"http:\/\/nesoccertoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15855\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16164,"href":"http:\/\/nesoccertoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15855\/revisions\/16164"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/nesoccertoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=15855"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/nesoccertoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=15855"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/nesoccertoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=15855"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
