Last week, Orlando City signed midfielder Tony Rocha and defender Mikey Ambrose from Orlando City B to senior squad deals. In order to acquire the rights to sign these two players, the club had to make trades with two other MLS clubs. While the rules that required one of those trades makes sense, the other doesn't.
From 2011 to 2014, Tony Rocha played for the University of Tulsa, starting 73 games for the Golden Hurricane. Following his collegiate career, Rocha was drafted in the fourth round of the 2015 MLS SuperDraft with the 73rd overall pick by Sporting Kansas City.
