The Vancouver Whitecaps have signed midfielder Michael Baldisimo and striker Thelonius Bair to homegrown contracts.
Baldisimo previously played for WFC2 and had just broken through as a starter when the team folded. Baldisimo returned to the Residency this past year and continued to impress to earn a first team contract. Baldisimo is a player who i’ve praised highly in the past. He’s a central midfield player who was one of the few reasons to be excited for WFC2 games in their dying days. His range of passing is reminiscent of Pedro Morales and he’s a ton of fun to watch.
