WINNIPEG, MB – The Winnipeg Goldeyes announced Wednesday the re-signing of right-handed starting pitcher Luke Boyd . Boyd signed with the Goldeyes May 28 and went on to start 17 games, posting a 5-10 record with a 4.53 earned run average over 95.1 innings. The native of Ojai, California, was originally chosen in the 38 th round of the 2019 MLB June Amateur Draft by the Los Angeles Angels out of Baylor University (Waco, Texas) before returning to college. He re-entered the draft in 2021 and was selected in the 17 th round by the San Diego Padres.

In his career, Boyd has compiled a 15-19 record in 105 appearances (31 starts) with a 4.90 ERA. “We’re happy to have Luke back for 2026,” said Watkins. “When we acquired Luke last year, we were in desperate need of starting pitching, and he showed up and competed for us every time he took the ball. I fully believe he's capable of being really effective for us in either a starting or relief role, and the trust he built with us last season gives us a lot of confidence in him.” Winnipeg now has 14 players under contract for the 2026 season.

In the 2024 season, Lynch played in 69 games and hit .203 with two home runs and 26 RBIs in his first season with the Goldeyes.

He brings energy everyday and keeps things loose for everybody. I was happy we got a chance to see him in the lineup more last season, and he definitely took advantage of his opportunities. He is going to be a big factor yet again for us this season.” Winnipeg now has 13 players under contract for the 2026 season.

Not many guys are capable of stealing 60+ bases in a season in any league. I look for him to be a guy that hits near the top of the lineup and generates a lot of production and excitement for us.” Winnipeg now has 12 players under contract for the 2026 season.
