The club said the Mitchell’s investment “lays the foundation for the club’s long-term sustainability and success, while demonstrating the league’s ability to attract international investors.”
The original Toronto ownership group featured more than 30 people including tennis player Milos Raonic and star sprinter Andre De Grasse.
