=== Chicago Fire (2007β2009) === Busch found himself the only player picked in the 2007 MLS Waiver Draft, selected by [[Toronto FC]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mlssoccer.com/news/article/busch-joins-toronto-through-waiver-draft|title=Busch joins Toronto through waiver draft|work=MLSsoccer.com}}</ref> On March 21 of the same year, he was waived by Toronto as the team found itself over the limit for senior international roster spots. He was subsequently traded to [[Chicago Fire Soccer Club|Chicago Fire]] in exchange for a fourth-round pick in the 2009 [[MLS Supplemental Draft]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.oursportscentral.com/services/releases/?id=3448628|title=Fire Signs Veteran Goalkeeper Jon Busch|date=April 7, 2007}}</ref> Busch was to serve primarily as a backup keeper in 2007 and only made it into three matches all season. However, with the departure of starter [[Matt Pickens]] to [[Queens Park Rangers F.C.|Queens Park Rangers]] of England's second-tier [[Football League Championship]], Busch ultimately inherited the starter's role with the Fire to start the 2008 season. He was named Fire MVP for the 2008 season after being the only Fire player to start and play 90 minutes in every MLS match during the regular season (2700 minutes). Busch posted the best saves percentage in the league (78.2) after making 122 saves on 156 shots faced. Busch tied for most shutouts in the league (10), while also tying a Fire single season shutout record shared with [[Matt Pickens]] for his 10 shutouts in 2007. For his efforts, Busch was named the [[MLS Goalkeeper of the Year]]. In March 2010, Busch was waived by the Chicago Fire.<ref>[https://archive.today/20110812003618/http://chicago.fire.mlsnet.com/news/team_news.jsp?ymd=20100322&content_id=8873428&vkey=news_chf&fext=.jsp&team=t100 "Fire waive goalkeeper Jon Busch"] From ''chicago.fire.mlsnet.com''.
