WINNIPEG, MB – The Winnipeg Goldeyes announced the re-signing Wednesday of infielder Ray-Patrick Didder . Didder suited up for 85 games for the Goldeyes in 2025 and hit .199 with 10 home runs and 20 runs batted in while also playing strong defensively, primarily at second base. Didder was signed as an international free agent by the Atlanta Braves at the age of 18 and made his professional debut with their Dominican Summer League entry in 2013. He played seven seasons in Atlanta’s system, reaching the Class-AA level on two occasions with the Southern League’s Mississippi Braves. In the years since his professional debut with the Braves organization, the 31-year-old has spent time in the affiliated ranks of the Los Angeles Angels, Miami Marlins, and San Diego Padres, reaching Class-AAA twice with the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp (MIA, 2022) and El Paso Chihuahuas (SDP, 2023). In 11 seasons in the minor leagues, Didder compiled a .235 batting average, with 133 doubles, 42 triples, 58 home runs, and 351 runs batted in. He has also swiped 241 bases. On the international stage, Didder, a native of Oranjestad, Aruba, has represented the Netherlands several times and will be suiting up to represent them in the 2026 World Baseball Classic alongside Goldeyes pitcher Arij Fransen and former Goldeyes Dayson Croes (2023-24) and Juan Carlos Sulbaran (2018). The Netherlands kick off their tournament on Friday, March 6, against Venezuela. “I am happy we are bringing Ray-Patrick back for another season,” said Goldeyes field boss Logan Watkins . “He's one of the most gifted players in the league in terms of ability, and he's motivated to come back and prove that. He was off to a great start last season before he dislocated a finger and then never really got momentum back once he was healthy. I think this year he will be coming into the season with a point to prove and show what he's capable of.” Winnipeg now has 22 players under contract for the 2026 season.

WINNIPEG, MB – The Winnipeg Goldeyes announced the re-signing Friday of Canadian right-handed starting pitcher Landen Bourassa , returning for his sixth season in Winnipeg. Bourassa made 15 starts in 2025 and posted a 6-6 record with a 4.20 earned run average over 85.2 innings. The Lethbridge, Alberta native has spent his entire professional career as a member of the Goldeyes after signing in 2021. In the years since, he has become a fan-favourite and has established himself as one of the most consistent starting arms in the franchise’s history. In his 74 starts for the Goldeyes, which rank fifth in team history, Bourassa has compiled a 34-24 record with a 4.13 ERA to go along with 301 strikeouts. His 442 innings pitched are also posted in the Goldeyes record books, ranking fifth all-time. He arrived in Winnipeg after spending four seasons (2018-21) with the University of San Francisco Dons. In his collegiate career, he tallied a 16-9 record with a 2.93 ERA and 144 strikeouts across 196.2 innings. Bourassa is the fifth Canadian signed by the Goldeyes this offseason, joining T.J. Schofield-Sam (Mississauga, ON), Mason Dobie (Meaford, ON), James Bradwell (North Vancouver, BC), and Bryce Arnold (Hamilton, ON). “Re-signing Landen is one of the biggest moves of the off-season for us,” said Goldeyes skipper Logan Watkins. “With him dealing with some sickness last year, he never really got his momentum for the season, but he went and had a great winter in Australia. He will once again be our opening day starter and be one of the top pitchers in the entire league in 2026.” Winnipeg now has 22 players under contract for the 2026 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 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.
