Winnipeg Goldeyes

WINNIPEG, Man. – The Winnipeg Goldeyes announced several transactions Thursday as the club pared its roster to the American Association’s regular season limit of 25 players.

Right-handed pitcher Max Steffens and outfielder Demias Jimerson were placed on irrevocable waivers for the purpose of granting them their release, as were non-roster spring training invitees Tanner Bercier and Neil Freeman, both right-handed pitchers.

Infielder Jordan Howard was dealt to the Kane County Cougars in exchange for future considerations.

The Goldeyes open the 2023 season Thursday against the Gary SouthShore RailCats at U.S. Steel Yard in Gary, Indiana. Game time is 6:45 p.m. Right-hander Luis Ramirez (0-0, 0.00 ERA) will get the call for Winnipeg, while the RailCats will reply with righty Edward Cuello (0-0, 0.00 ERA). All the action can be heard locally on CJNU 93.7 FM and worldwide at cjnu.ca.
