What happened: The first-round draft pick earned the deal after making his league debut in May through a short-term call-up. He became the club’s 231st MLS player and ninth debutant of the season.
Why it matters: The contract moves Rodrigues onto the MLS roster after his development-team spell. It also provides continuity beyond the short-term agreements used for his initial appearances.
By the numbers: Rodrigues recorded six goals and two assists in 14 development-team matches before his MLS debut.
What to watch: His role and minutes during the remaining 2026 schedule will show where he fits in the rotation.
