The Winnipeg Goldeyes announced the signing Wednesday of North York, Ont., native and former Canadian national team member Trevor Brigden.
Brigden 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 in Kelowna, B.C. 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.
Winnipeg now has 24 players under contract for the 2025 season. American Association clubs may carry up to 33 players during spring training, which begins April 26.
