WINNIPEG, MB – The Winnipeg Goldeyes, in conjunction with the Winnipeg Goldeyes Field of Dreams Foundation, are pleased to announce the beneficiaries of funds raised during the 2025 baseball season. During the 2025 calendar year, the Winnipeg Goldeyes Field of Dreams Foundation raised and distributed close to $100,000 in support of 48 registered children’s charities (complete list of recipients below) through generous contributions from Manitobans throughout the province. Among this year’s funding recipients is the Learning Disabilities Association of Manitoba (LDAM), which empowers individuals with learning disabilities and/or ADHD through specialized educational workshops and programs. They build on each person’s strengths, provide practical strategies tailored to diverse learning needs, and promote confidence, independence, and personal growth. Through their supports, LDAM helps individuals and families better understand learning differences and thrive at school, at work, and in the community. “The Field of Dreams Foundation’s support will be used to purchase structured reading materials and comprehension-based learning games for individuals participating in our Barton Reading & Spelling tutoring program. These resources support skill development, engagement, and confidence in learning, and allow us to continue delivering high-quality, evidence-based tutoring for individuals with learning disabilities.” – Karen Velthuys , Executive Director of Learning Disabilities Association of Manitoba. The Children’s Hospital Foundation of Manitoba raises funds and mobilizes community support to advance excellence in pediatric health care and child health research. Through philanthropy and partnerships, the Foundation helps equip care teams with leading-edge technology, strengthens family-centred programs and spaces, and supports research that improves diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes for children and youth. By investing in innovation and compassionate care, the Foundation helps ensure Manitoba’s children receive the best possible care today—and a healthier future for generations to come. “We’re deeply grateful to the Winnipeg Goldeyes Field of Dreams for supporting kids who need Manitoba’s only children’s hospital. This generous donation will go towards technology on CK5, the childhood cancer, blood disorders and transplant ward at HSC Children’s Hospital, to help provide comfort and connection for kids facing long and difficult stays.” – Stefano Grande , President & Chief Executive Officer of Children’s Hospital Foundation of Manitoba. The Canadian National Institute for the Blind (CNIB) is a national non-profit organization dedicated to changing what it means to be blind today. Through innovative programs, accessible services, and powerful advocacy, they empower people who are blind, partially sighted, or living with sight loss to pursue their goals, build confidence and independence, and participate fully in their communities. Working alongside families, employers, educators, and community partners, CNIB helps remove barriers to inclusion and advances accessibility in everyday life. Their impact is made possible by a strong network of volunteers, donors, and partners from coast to coast to coast who share a vision of a more inclusive Canada. “We are deeply grateful to the Field of Dreams Foundation for their generous support of this special Easter event. These funds will allow us to purchase beeping eggs—specially designed eggs that emit a soft chirping sound so children can locate them by hearing rather than sight—ensuring that children who are blind or have low vision can fully participate in a joyful, inclusive celebration." The Kidney Foundation of Canada is the leading national charity dedicated to eliminating the burden of kidney disease. Through funding and stimulating innovative research, the Foundation advances better prevention, improved treatments, and progress toward a cure. It provides education and practical supports to help people at risk reduce their chances of developing kidney disease and empowers those living with kidney disease to manage their health and quality of life. The Foundation also advocates for equitable access to high-quality kidney care and works to increase public awareness and commitment to kidney health and organ donation across Canada. “The generous funding from the Winnipeg Goldeyes Field of Dreams Foundation is so important to the Kidney Foundation, for it helps us give kids something precious: a week where their diagnosis doesn’t define them, and where friendships formed are deep and genuine, built on a shared understanding of each other’s journey with kidney disease.” – Greg Unger , Executive Director, The Kidney Foundation of Canada, Manitoba Branch. “We’re proud to once again stand behind children’s charities that are changing lives across Manitoba,” said Tony Fletcher, President of the Winnipeg Goldeyes Field of Dreams Foundation. “These organizations do vital work in our communities every day, and we’re grateful to play a small role in helping them reach more kids and families. That support is only possible because of the continued generosity of Goldeyes fans and corporate partners, whose commitment helps us give back year after year and strengthen the impact we can make together.” Since its inception in 1995, the Winnipeg Goldeyes Field of Dreams Foundation has raised and distributed close to $4 Million to children’s charities in Manitoba. Revenue sources include the Field of Dreams Foundation annual golf tournament, fan donations, the Fillmore Riley LLP Ks for Kids program, the Sonia’s Stand Radar Pitching Booth, memorabilia auctions, and the sale of 50/50 tickets during home games at Blue Cross Park.

Once we contacted him and acquired video, it was easy to see that he is a really good, young pitcher with a lot of upside. We already have some left-handed relievers signed, but Kevin was too good not to pursue. He fits what we look for from a pitching perspective: high strikeouts and low walks. I think he has a chance to be one of our better pitchers on the staff in 2026.” Winnipeg now has 19 players under contract for the 2026 season.

WINNIPEG, MB – The Winnipeg Goldeyes announced the re-signing Wednesday of left-handed starting pitcher Mitchell Lambson , returning for his seventh season in Winnipeg. Lambson started 20 games in 2025, posting an 8-6 record with a 4.86 earned run average and 138 strikeouts. He was voted as last-man-in on the West Division roster in the 2025 American Association All-Star Game. The 35-year-old has become a staple in the Goldeyes’ record books, appearing among the franchise leaders in most pitching categories. He ranks second in wins (42), strikeouts (438), innings pitched (557), and complete games (12), and fourth in games started (75). Overall, the native of Montclair, California has made 114 appearances for Winnipeg between 2017 and 2025 and has compiled a 42-23 record with a 4.06 ERA. Lambson won an American Association championship with the Goldeyes in 2017 and was named the league’s Pitcher of the Year following the 2019 season, during which he went 13-4 with a 3.11 earned run average. Chosen by the Houston Astros in the 19th round of the 2011 Major League Baseball June Amateur Draft out of Arizona State University (Tempe, Arizona), Lambson also pitched in the Atlanta Braves’ and Milwaukee Brewers’ organizations, reaching the Class-AAA level on two occasions. “Mitch is another great veteran addition, said Goldeyes’ field boss Logan Watkins. “He battled through a little bit of arm trouble last year towards the end of the year, but made every start for us. In fact, for a big portion of the season, he was the only one of our original starting pitchers healthy in the rotation. He brings so much experience, and we know every time he takes the ball, we have a chance to win. He's never going to overpower anyone, but he's a dying breed of pitchers who know how to control the game by mixing up his pitches and relying on location. I know our fans will be happy to see him back.” In a separate transaction Wednesday, the Goldeyes traded the rights to outfielder Tanner O’Tremba to the Lincoln Saltdogs in exchange for future considerations. O’Tremba suited up in 69 games for the Goldeyes in 2025, hitting .215 with six home runs and 31 runs batted in. Winnipeg now has 17 players under contract for the 2026 season.
