By exercising their options, the Goldeyes retain the American Association rights to these players for the 2021 season. Each player must still be signed to a new contract.

Additionally, right-handed pitcher Brandon Cumpton’s contract was returned to the Mexican League’s Diablos Rojos del Mexico City, catcher Nick Oddo was traded to the Frontier League’s Schaumburg Boomers to complete an earlier deal from August 4th, and the Goldeyes released outfielder Breland Almadova, left-handed pitcher Evan Grills, and outfielder Jonathan Moroney.
