A Toronto native, Leach becomes the fifth Canadian on the Goldeyes roster, joining fellow right-handed pitchers Landen Bourassa (Lethbridge, Alberta), Trevor Brigden (North York, Ontario), Tylor Jans (St. Albert, Alberta), and Will Sierra (Montréal, Québec). Leach was selected by the Minnesota Twins in the second round of the 2017 Major League Baseball June Amateur Draft out of Pickering High School (Ajax, Ontario). He was the first Canadian taken in that year’s draft at 37th overall – 23 picks before the Baltimore Orioles chose former Goldeyes infielder Adam Hall . The 25-year-old made his professional debut with the Twins’ entry in the Rookie-Class Gulf Coast League in 2017 and advanced as far as the Class-A Fort Myers Mighty Mussels of what was then known as the Low-A Southeast league in 2021. Leach signed with the Atlanta Braves in 2022, pitching at three levels in their system, including Class-A Advanced with the South Atlantic League’s Rome Braves. In four minor league seasons, Leach compiled a 5-8 record with a 4.46 earned run average in 41 appearances – 30 of which were starts. After signing with the Frontier League’s Québec Capitales in 2023, Leach was injured during training camp and missed the entire season. He pitched last year for the Intercounty Baseball League’s Toronto Maple Leafs. Leach represented Canada at the 2017 U-18 Baseball World Cup in Thunder Bay, Ontario, where he was a teammate of Sierra’s. “Landon is someone who appeared on our radar very recently,” said skipper Logan Watkins . “He’s dealt with injury the last few seasons so it will be interesting to see how he bounces back. If he can get to where he was before his injury, he could be a huge late addition for us.” In another move, right-handed pitcher Aaron Shortridge , signed by the Goldeyes in January, has instead joined the Mexican Baseball League’s Leones de Yucatán. Winnipeg now has 25 players under contract for the 2025 season. American Association clubs may carry up to 33 players during spring training, which begins April 26. 2025 Winnipeg Goldeyes Player Signings OF Evan Alexander IF Andy Armstrong IF Edwin Arroyo RHP Landen Bourassa IF Ramón Bramasco RHP Trevor Brigden RHP Derrick Cherry IF Dayson Croes RHP Juan Echevarría OF Roby Enríquez C Kevin García IF Jake Guenther RHP Tylor Jans RHP Marshall Kasowski LHP Mitchell Lambson RHP Landon Leach IF Keshawn Lynch OF Max Murphy OF Tanner O’Tremba RHP Marcel Rentería LHP Brady Rose RHP Will Sierra LHP Tasker Strobel OF Braxton Turner RHP Ryder Yakel The Goldeyes will begin the 2025 campaign Thursday, May 8 against the Railroaders in Cleburne, Texas.

He also went to Dallas Baptist University which is known to develop some very good pitchers.

Brigden (pronounced BRIG-den) is a right-handed relief pitcher who has spent much of the past four seasons at the Class-AAA level with the International League’s Durham Bulls. The 29-year-old was selected by the Tampa Bay Rays in the 17th round of the 2019 Major League Baseball June Amateur Draft out of Okanagan College (Kelowna, British Columbia). Bridgen made his professional debut later that year and pitched five seasons in the Rays’ system. Brigden posted a 3-1 record with Durham in 2024, along with a 7.64 earned run average and one save. He appeared in 85 games for the Bulls from 2021-2024, going 8-6 with a 5.09 ERA and three saves. Representing Canada at the 2023 World Baseball Classic, Brigden saw action in two contests, pitching an inning and one third of hitless relief while recording three strikeouts. “Trevor will be one of our most experienced guys on the entire roster”, said skipper Logan Watkins . “He has a lot of Triple-A affiliated experience along with playing for the Canadian National Team so he will almost certainly be a huge part of our bullpen this season. Guys of his calibre are not easy to acquire so this is definitely one of the signings I hope the organization and fans are most excited about.” Winnipeg now has 24 players under contract for the 2025 season.

Echevarría (pronounced etch-eh-va-REE-yuh) spent the last three seasons with the Milwaukee Milkmen. In 2024 he appeared in 10 games – including three starts – and posted a 1-0 record with a 13.70 earned run average. The 27-year-old made his American Association debut in 2021 with the Chicago Dogs and his combined record in the league stands at 8-6 with a 5.80 ERA and five saves. Echevarría was chosen by the Baltimore Orioles in the 21st round of the 2015 Major League Baseball June Amateur Draft out of Osceola High School (Kissimmee, Florida). He spent four seasons in their system, compiling an 11-5 record with a 4.40 ERA. The native of Santurce, Puerto Rico reached the Class-A Advanced level with the Carolina League’s Frederick Keys in 2019. “Juan is going to be exciting to watch this year,” said manager Logan Watkins . “He has spent time in affiliated ball and had some great years for Milwaukee in the American Association. Last season was a down year for him due to fatigue from all the innings he pitched in 2023. Once he had time to recover, he performed very well in winter ball. There's no substitute for experience and I think he will be a big addition to our pitching staff this season.” Winnipeg now has 23 players under contract for the 2025 season.

Rentería was selected by the New York Mets in the sixth round of the 2017 Major League Baseball June Amateur Draft out of New Mexico State University (Las Cruces, New Mexico) and played six seasons in their system. The 30-year-old reached the Class-AAA level in 2021 with the Triple-A East League’s (now International League) Syracuse Mets.

He is an experienced arm who climbed up high in affiliated ball,” said Goldeyes field boss Logan Watkins . “Unfortunately for him – but fortunately for us – he is coming back from injury which made it possible for us to sign him. I know he's excited to prove that he's healthy and he's as motivated as ever. He is a guy who can start or relieve and someone we will lean on in 2025.” Winnipeg now has 22 players under contract for the 2025 season.

The native of Baytown, Texas averaged just under a strikeout per inning pitched. “Derrick is someone I've been following for a few years now,” said manager Logan Watkins . “He's got incredible ability as a pitcher and has a really high ceiling. He's worked very hard this off season and I think once he gets with (pitching coach) Mark Brewer he can keep climbing towards what he is capable of. Between Derrick, Will Sierra , and Tylor Jans , I think we have three young rookies with a lot of potential and could be the difference in how good our bullpen is this season.” Winnipeg now has 21 players under contract for the 2025 season.

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 2024 baseball season. During the 2024 calendar year, the Winnipeg Goldeyes Field of Dreams Foundation raised and distributed more than $100,000 in support of 48 registered children’s charities (complete list of recipients below) through generous contributions from Manitobans across the province. Among this year’s funding recipients is the Children’s Rehabilitation Foundation, which is a charity dedicated to helping children and youth live as independently as possible. They are the fundraising entity for the Rehabilitation Centre for Children – an outpatient facility providing services and outreach therapy in support of children and youth realizing their potential and participating fully in their communities. “Youth living with varying abilities require our support to discover their potential and participate in their communities. This generous grant from the Winnipeg Goldeyes Field of Dreams Foundation is going to be life-altering for two siblings who are on Children’s Rehabilitation Foundation’s specialized equipment waitlist. We are so grateful for this contribution and look forward to watching these young sisters flourish on their new mobility devices.” – Jane Kidd-Hantscher , Executive Director of Children’s Rehabilitation Foundation.

Toba Centre provides a space where children and families can find comfort, healing, and access to the resources they need when they’ve been impacted by abuse or witnessed violence. It is our vision that every victim of child abuse, and every child witness to violence, is heard, helped, and healed. “We are truly grateful for the Winnipeg Goldeyes Field of Dreams Foundation’s support of our hotel care packages. Toba Centre serves all of Manitoba and we often see children come from out of town with very little. This support will provide families with much-needed hotel care packages containing pajamas and a change of clothes, toiletries, food, games, and activities. During an unimaginable time in their young lives, ensuring kids have these comforts can make a big difference in their healing journey.” – Christy Dzikowicz , Chief Executive Officer of Toba Centre for Children & Youth The Movement Centre of Manitoba is a privately funded registered charity and the only one of its kind in Manitoba that specializes in conductive education rehabilitation and therapy for children and adults living with neuromotor disorders. The Movement Centre is committed to serving Manitobans living with neurological conditions such as cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, stroke, acquired brain injury, developmental delays, spina bifida and Parkinson’s disease. “Thank you for helping kids and adults with neurological disabilities live their best lives! We are so grateful for the Goldeyes Field of Dreams Foundation support which will directly impact hundreds of Manitobans and their families.” – Jennifer Wojcik , Executive Director of the Movement Centre of Manitoba “Because the Movement Centre receives no government funding and relies solely on donations, fundraising and grants, the Goldeyes Field of Dreams Foundation’s support means that much more. Thank you for sharing our vision of equal opportunity for all to live fully and be included in meaningful activities in all areas of life and community.” – Tim Steadman , Board Co-Chair of the Movement Centre of Manitoba “The foundation is thrilled to once again be able to support so many incredible children’s charities that are making a real difference in Manitobans’ lives,” said Tony Fletcher , President of the Winnipeg Goldeyes Field of Dreams Foundation. “None of this would be possible without the generosity of our fans and corporate partners, whose unwavering support allows us to give back year after year.” Since its inception in 1995, the Winnipeg Goldeyes Field of Dreams Foundation has raised and distributed more than $3 Million to children’s charities in Manitoba.
