Mihailović will be a Designated Player with the Rapids, per The Athletic.

CB: Miles Robinson, Atlanta United to FC Cincinnati

Miles Robinson is joining 2023 Supporters' Shield winners FC Cincinnati, as first reported by The Athletic and confirmed by FOX Sports.

The club made the signing official on Wednesday.
