Hey there, time traveller!

The Winnipeg Goldeyes have signed seven of the nine players they selected in Tuesday’s American Association dispersal draft, including infielder/outfielder Darnell Sweeney (Round 1, Kansas City), right-handed pitcher Frank Duncan (Round 2, Kansas City), outfielder Jordan George (Round 3, Kansas City), infielder Thomas Walraven (Round 4, Gary SouthShore), catcher Roy Morales (Round 5, Kansas City), right-handed pitcher Kent Hasler (Round 6, Sioux City), and catcher John Nester (Round 9, Cleburne). All seven players will be returned to their respective clubs at the conclusion of the 2020 season.
The Fish also announced the signings of outfielder Logan Hill and right-handed pitcher Nicholas Economos.
Hill hit a combined .250 with 14 home runs and 72 RBIs across 127 games in the Pittsburgh Pirates’ organization last season.
Economos also played in the Pirates’ organization last season, reaching as high as Double-A Altoona, and combined for a 10-9 record with a 3.42 ERA in 22 starts and four relief appearances.
