Dylan Vanney signed to short-term agreement
Greg Vanney's son, Dylan Vanney, has been signed to a short-term agreement with the first team. The 19-year-old was named MLS Next Pro Rising Star of the Month for April after a strong run with Ventura County FC.
The nepotism question
Let's be real: you saw the last name and had the same thought as everyone else on Reddit. Greg Vanney has done this before, signing his son to previous short-term deals. The fanbase is split. Some point to the literal definition of nepotism: "favoritism based on kinship." Others argue if the kid can play, the kid can play. The April award suggests there is something there. But the burden of proof is on Dylan, and every minute he gets will be scrutinized twice as hard.
