The Winnipeg Goldeyes have re-signed left-handed starting pitcher Mitchell Lambson for a sixth season with the team.
Lambson will return to Winnipeg for 2025 after splitting last year between the Goldeyes and the Saraperos de Saltillo of the Mexican Baseball League.
The 34-year-old went 2-0 with a 4.82 earned run average in four regular season starts with Winnipeg, adding a pair of victories in the Goldeyes’ thrilling postseason run.
Lambson won an American Association championship with the Goldeyes in 2017 and was named the league’s Pitcher of the Year following the 2019 season, during which he went 13-4 with a 3.11 earned run average.
“We are very excited to get Mitch back with us,” said Goldeyes skipper Logan Watkins. “He came up big for us in some crucial games down the stretch last season and was a big part of our success in the playoffs. His experience and consistency will be critical for our starting rotation and, much like Max Murphy, I expect him to be one of the best examples of the culture and expectations we want to have in the clubhouse.”
Winnipeg now has 12 players under contract for the 2025 season.
