WINNIPEG, MB – The Winnipeg Goldeyes announced the re-signing Wednesday of outfielder Max Murphy . The 33-year-old returns to the Goldeyes for a sixth season. In 2025, he hit .277 with 15 home runs and 62 runs batted in, leading the club in the latter two categories. Coming off another year where he continued to etch his name into the Goldeyes’ record books, Murphy became the club’s all-time leader in home runs after he hit his 93rd in a June 11 contest against the Chicago Dogs. That mark surpassed franchise great Reggie Abercrombie, who hit 92 round-trippers in his Goldeyes career. Murphy added to his franchise-best mark, finishing the season with 102. He also appears primed to become the team’s all-time RBI leader in 2026, as he sits just six behind Abercrombie (393). One of the most prolific run producers in American Association history, Murphy is a multiple-time all-star and sits among the league’s all-time leaders in several offensive categories. He moved into fourth all-time with 131 home runs, passing former Goldeyes infielder Josh Mazzola (130). He also jumped into second in career RBIs, sitting only behind Abercrombie (606) with 525. Murphy was named the league’s Player of the Year in 2022. The native of Robbinsdale, Minnesota has hit .286 over his professional career, with 174 home runs and 736 RBIs. A right-handed hitter and fielder, Murphy was drafted by the Minnesota Twins in the ninth round in 2014 out of Bradley University (Peoria, Illinois). He earned All-Star accolades twice during his time with the Twins and garnered a Minor League Baseball Gold Glove award in 2017. Murphy reached the Triple-A level with the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2019. “I’m stating the obvious, but we’re very excited Max is back on board for another season,” said Goldeyes skipper Logan Watkins . “He’s one of the all-time greats of this organization and in the league, and he’s still got a lot of good baseball left in him. He’s also a great leader for this team and someone who really sets the tone in the clubhouse.” Winnipeg now has nine players under contract for the 2026 season.

WINNIPEG, MB – The Winnipeg Goldeyes announced Monday the re-signing of right-handed relief pitcher Derrick Cherry . Cherry was one of the most reliable arms out of the Goldeyes bullpen in 2025, appearing in 40 games while posting a 3-1 record with a 4.09 earned run average. He also recorded career highs in strikeouts (62) and innings pitched (66.0). He made his professional debut in 2024 with the Rocky Mountain Vibes of the Pioneer League, where he appeared in 25 contests, including five starts. He compiled a 2-5 record with a 7.97 ERA and one save, based out of a very hitter-friendly ballpark in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

His overall college record was 7-8 with a 5.07 ERA and ten saves. The native of Baytown, Texas averaged just under a strikeout per inning pitched. “Derrick is another huge re-signing for us,” said Goldeyes manager Logan Watkins . “There were big portions of last season where he was probably our best reliever. He has a ton of upside for a young guy, and we are hoping he builds off what he accomplished last year.” Winnipeg now has eight players under contract for the 2026 season.
