New York Red Bulls Sign Frank Rost As Third Designated Player

Rost has plenty of experience in the German Bundesliga, having made 426 top-flight appearances since 1992 with three clubs: Werder Bremen, Schalke 04 and most recently Hamburger SV.

Signing Rost as a DP shows that the Red Bulls were concerned over their goalkeeping issues this season. The team had leaked in 24 goals, enough to cause concern for folks that believed this would be a MLS Cup contender this season.
